Phosphatase Classification: FoldCC1: Superfamily CC1: Family Myotubularin: MTMR3

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

Evolution

MTMR1 is in metazoan. It consists of two members in human, MTMR3 and MTMR4. In fruit fly and C elegans, a single copy is found.

Domain Structure

MTMR3 subfamily has a conserved domain combination: a divergent GRAM/PH domain, phosphatase domain and FYVE domain, which can bind to the second messenger phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate PI3P.

Catalytic activity and functions

Human MTMR3 is an inositol lipid 3-phosphatase, with a so-far-unique substrate specificity. It is able to hydrolyze PtdIns3P and PtdIns(3,5)P2, both in vitro and when heterologously expressed in S. cerevisiae. Thus, MTMR3 plays critical role in the cellular production of PtdIns5P [1].
