Phosphatase Subfamily PPIP5K
Phosphatase Classification: Fold HP: Superfamily HP (histidine phosphatase): Family HP, branch 2: PPIP5K
PPIP5K has a pseudophosphatase domain which bind to PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 and a kinase domain of RimK superfamily. The proteins therefore show kinase activity which convert InsP6 and 5-InsP7 to 1-InsP7 and InsP8.
Evolution
PPIP5K is conserved across opisthokont. Human genome has three copies.
Domain
PPIP5K has two domains: N-terminal RimK/ATP-grasp domain, and C-terminal HP2 domain [1].
RimK/ATP-grasp domain confer PPIP5K's kinase activity that converts InsP6 and 5-InsP7 to 1-InsP7 and InsP8 [1, 2].
Unlike other members of HP2 family which are protein or non-protein phosphatases, the HP2 domain of PPIP5K is not catalytically active. Instead, this HP2 domain is specialized for binding PtdIns(3,4,5)P3, as a partial PH (pleckstrin homology) consensus sequence is spliced into this HP2 domain [3].
Catalytic activity and functions
As mentioned above, the phosphatase domain of PPIP5K, HP2 domain, is catalytically inactive [3]. Because the kinase domain is active, the proteins show kinase activity in general. In particular, human PPIP5K1 and PPIP5K2 mediates phosphorylation of InsP6 and 5-InsP7 to 1-InsP7 and InsP8. InsP7 and InsP8 are multifunctional signaling molecules that regulate diverse cellular activities [1, 2].
