Little is known about molecular functions of PTC7. In yeast, Ptc7p, the protein encoded by yeast PTC7, dephosphorylates the mitochondrial hydroxylase Coq7p (Cat5p) and activates Q6 biosynthesis by Coq7p dephosphorylation. COQ7 is found in most eukaryotes, except plants and excavates <cite>Martin-Montalvo13</cite>. COQ7 in humans are targeted to mitochondria, are cleaved to become trapped in these organelles, and then function in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone, a cofactor in the electron transport chain. The uncleaved form of these proteins in the nucleus <cite>Monaghan15</cite>.

Phosphatase Classification: Fold PPM (PP2C): Superfamily PPM (PP2C): Family PPM (PP2C): Subfamily PTC7

Evolution

The PTC7 subfamily is found throughout eukaryotes. In most opisthokont, it has a single copy per genome.

Domain

The PTC7 subfamily has a single structural domain: phosphatase domain of PPM (PP2C) fold.

Monosiga has a PTC7 has the domain combination of PLAT domain, PPM phosphatase and LIM domain. While the LIM domain is dubious, the combination of PLAT and PPM domain is found in sparsely (see technical notes). The function of PLAT domain is unclear, perhaps mediating the association between monosiga PTC7 and lipid or membrane.

Functions

Yeast Ptc7p, dephosphorylates and activates the mitochondrial hydroxylase Coq7p (Cat5p) and so activates coenzyme Q6 biosynthesis. Ptc7 may reverse the action of the Coq8 kinase (ABC1/YGL119W) (see, e.g. [1]). COQ7 is found in most eukaryotes, except plants and excavates [2]. COQ7 in humans is targeted to mitochondria, cleaved to become trapped in these organelles, and then function in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone, a cofactor in the electron transport chain. The uncleaved form of these proteins in the nucleus [3].

Subcellular localization

Human PPTC7 is reported as a mitochondrial protein by multiple datasets summarized in Mitominer, and knockdown in human cells has an effect on mitochondrial respiration [4], though PPTC lacks a mitochondria targeting signal TargetP 1.1. Because COQ7 is localized in both mitochondria and nucleus, further studies need to clarify whether PTC7 is localized to nucleus and dephosphorylates COQ7 in nucleus.

Technical notes

Accessory PLAT domain is found in a small number of single cellular eukaryotes

The combination of PLAT and PPM domain is found in sparsely, by BLASTing monosiga PTC7, both full sequence and the region containing PLAT and PPM, against eukaryotes NR dataset. domain (1-400). Below are the organisms and their genes that have the domain combination of PLAT and PPM:

  • Green algae: Monoraphidium neglectum (KIY99478.1)
  • Eudicots: Capsella rubella (XP_006283668.1)
  • Algae (cryptomonads): Guillardia theta (XP_005819750.1)
  • Fungus: Blastocystis hominis (CBK25361.2)
