Phosphatase Classification: FoldCC1: Superfamily CC1: Family Myotubularin: MTMR1

MTMR1 subfamily is lipid phosphatase dephosphorylates second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate [PI(3)P].

Evolution

MTMR1 is found throughout holozoan. It consists of three members in human, MTM1, MTMR1 and MTMR2. In fruit fly and C elegans, a single copy is found. In most vertebrates from bony fish to human, MTM1 and MTMR1 are adjacent on the X chromosome (see Genomicus).

Domain Structure

MTMR1 subfamily has a GRAM and phosphatase domain. GRAM domain is similar to PH domain in structure and is found in membrane-associated proteins. MTMR1 in Monosiga has a C1 domain instead of GRAM domain. C1 domain is known to bind an important secondary messenger diacylglycerol (DAG).

Catalytic activity and functions

Human MTM1 has phosphatase activity towards the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate [PI(3)P] in vitro and in human, budding yeast, fission yeast [1, 2]. Human MTMR1 and MTMR2 has been shown to dephosphorylate PI(3)P ([3] and [4], respectively).

Related Kinases

See PI3K.

MTMR1 and yeast YMR1

Yeast has a single myotubularin YMR1, encoding PI(3)P phosphatase It has a single phosphatase domain, - no accessary domain is detected so far. YMR1 is supposed to be the ancestor of all 14 myotubularins in human, but it is hard to determine which subfamily is orthologous to it in human.
