Catalytic inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (INPP5c) domain of inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase J and related proteins
INPP5c domain of Inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase J (INPP5J), also known as PIB5PA or PIPP, and related proteins. This subfamily belongs to a family of Mg2+-dependent inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases, which hydrolyze the 5-phosphate from the inositol ring of various 5-position phosphorylated phosphoinositides (PIs) and inositol phosphates (IPs), and to the large EEP (exonuclease/endonuclease/phosphatase) superfamily that contains functionally diverse enzymes that share a common catalytic mechanism of cleaving phosphodiester bonds. INPP5J hydrolyzes PI(4,5)P2, I(1,4,5)P3, and I(1,3,4,5)P4 at ruffling membranes. These proteins contain a C-terminal, SKIP carboxyl homology domain (SKICH), which may direct plasma membrane ruffle localization.
