Phosphatase Subfamily MTMR5
Phosphatase Classification: FoldCC1: Superfamily CC1: Family Myotubularin: Subfamily MTMR5 (SBF)
[a punch line at here]
Evolution
MTMR5 subfamily is found throughout metazoan. It consists of two members in human, MTMR5 and MTMR13, also called SBF1 and SBF2, respectively. In fruit fly and C elegans, a single copy is found.
Domain Structure
MTMR5 subfamily has a DENN domain, PH/GRAM domain, phosphatase domain, coiled-coil domain and PH domain. The GRAM domain is similar to PH domain in structure and is found in membrane-associated proteins.
Catalytic activity and functions
MTMR5 subfamily is conservatively inactive in metazoan. Human MTMR5 interact with MTMR2 (see MTMR1 subfamily) via its coiled-coil domain and mutations in the coiled-coil domain of either MTMR2 or MTMR5 abrogate this interaction. Through this interaction, MTMR5 increases the enzymatic activity of MTMR2 and dictates its subcellular localization [1].
