Phosphatase Subfamily DCR2

Phosphatase Classification: Fold PPPL: Superfamily PPPL: Family PAP: DCR2

Evolution

The DCR2 subfamily is found in most fungi, most plants and a few chromalveolates.

Domain Structure

DCR2 has a single phosphatase domain.

Function

DCR2 dephosphorylates Ire1, a conserved endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane UPR sensor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [1].
