Calcineurin-like phosphoesterase. This family includes a diverse range of phosphoesterases, including protein phosphoserine phosphatases, nucleotidases, sphingomyelin phosphodiesterases and 2'-3' cAMP phosphodiesterases as well as nucleases such as bacterial SbcD or yeast MRE11. The most conserved regions in this superfamily centre around the metal chelating residues.
Homo sapiens acid phosphatase 5 and related proteins, metallophosphatase domain. Acid phosphatase 5 (ACP5) removes the mannose 6-phosphate recognition marker from lysosomal proteins. The exact site of dephosphorylation is not clear. Evidence suggests dephosphorylation may take place in a prelysosomal compartment as well as in the lysosome. ACP5 belongs to the metallophosphatase (MPP) superfamily. MPPs are functionally diverse, but all share a conserved domain with an active site consisting of two metal ions (usually manganese, iron, or zinc) coordinated with octahedral geometry by a cage of histidine, aspartate, and asparagine residues. The MPP superfamily includes: Mre11/SbcD-like exonucleases, Dbr1-like RNA lariat debranching enzymes, YfcE-like phosphodiesterases, purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), YbbF-like UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolases, and acid sphingomyelinases (ASMases). The conserved domain is a double beta-sheet sandwich with a di-metal active site made up of residues located at the C-terminal side of the sheets. This domain is thought to allow for productive metal coordination.
purple acid phosphatases of the metallophosphatase superfamily, metallophosphatase domain. Purple acid phosphatases (PAPs) belong to a diverse family of binuclear metallohydrolases that have been identified and characterized in plants, animals, and fungi. PAPs contain a binuclear metal center and their characteristic pink or purple color derives from a charge-transfer transition between a tyrosine residue and a chromophoric ferric ion within the binuclear center. PAPs catalyze the hydrolysis of a wide range of activated phosphoric acid mono- and di-esters and anhydrides. PAPs are distinguished from the other phosphatases by their insensitivity to L-(+) tartrate inhibition and are therefore also known as tartrate resistant acid phosphatases (TRAPs). While only a few copies of PAP-like genes are present in mammalian and fungal genomes, multiple copies are present in plant genomes. PAPs belong to the metallophosphatase (MPP) superfamily. MPPs are functionally diverse, but all share a conserved domain with an active site consisting of two metal ions (usually manganese, iron, or zinc) coordinated with octahedral geometry by a cage of histidine, aspartate, and asparagine residues. The MPP superfamily includes: Mre11/SbcD-like exonucleases, Dbr1-like RNA lariat debranching enzymes, YfcE-like phosphodiesterases, purple acid phosphatases (PAPs), YbbF-like UDP-2,3-diacylglucosamine hydrolases, and acid sphingomyelinases (ASMases).
