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.
Enterobacter aerogenes GpdQ and related proteins, metallophosphatase domain. GpdQ (glycerophosphodiesterase Q, also known as Rv0805 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis) is a binuclear metallophosphoesterase from Enterobacter aerogenes that catalyzes the hydrolysis of mono-, di-, and triester substrates, including some organophosphate pesticides and products of the degradation of nerve agents. The GpdQ homolog, Rv0805, has 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity. GpdQ and Rv0805 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).
