Gene Description

MTMR9 (myotubularin-related protein 9) is a catalytically inactive member of the myotubularin family of phosphoinositide 3-phosphatases. It has an N-terminal PH-GRAM domain, a myotubularin phosphatase-like domain in which the catalytic cysteine and arginine of the CX5R motif are replaced, and a C-terminal coiled coil that mediates dimerization. It acts as a regulatory subunit for the active myotubularins MTMR6, MTMR7 and MTMR8, forming heterodimers that stabilize the active partner, increase its catalytic rate and set its substrate preference: the MTMR6-MTMR9 dimer favours phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate, producing PI5P, whereas MTMR8-MTMR9 favours phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate. MTMR9 is a soluble cytoplasmic protein that associates with intracellular membranes, perinuclear regions, and membrane ruffles during macropinocytosis. Through these partner phosphatases it influences autophagy, resistance to DNA damage-induced apoptosis and macropinocytosis in cultured cells.

Summary: Generic protein binding from the mouse MTMR7/MTMR9 characterisation study; the GOA partner identifier resolves to bovine LONP1.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative, and removal does not mean the interaction is false. PMID:12890864 identified MTMR9 as the MTMR7-binding protein, a phosphatase-binding claim already captured by the MTMR7 rows modified to GO:0019902. The partner accession recorded in GOA (UniProtKB:Q59HJ6) currently resolves to bovine LONP1 (Lon protease), which the cached abstract does not mention; this looks like a stale or remapped accession, but the full text was not read, so no stronger claim is made.

Summary: Interaction of MTMR9 with the active myotubularin lipid phosphatase MTMR8 (UniProtKB:Q96EF0) reported in PMID:16189514.
Reason: Bare protein binding is uninformative. The partner MTMR8 is a catalytically active myotubularin phosphoinositide 3-phosphatase, and targeted studies show that MTMR9 heterodimerizes with MTMR8 and raises its catalytic output, so the interaction is better captured as phosphatase binding (GO:0019902). The regulatory consequence is captured separately by phosphatase activator activity (GO:0019211). The proteome-scale screen that GOA cites is an independent detection of the same pair; the replacement term is supported by the focused studies quoted here.

The NMI interaction comes from a proteome-scale binary or affinity screen; no follow-up study connects it to MTMR9's established role as a noncatalytic regulator of MTMR6/MTMR7/MTMR8 phosphoinositide phosphatases, so there is no informative molecular-function term to substitute.

Summary: Reactome places MTMR9 in 'Synthesis of PIPs at the plasma membrane' through the MTMR9-bound MTMR6/MTMR8 dephosphorylation reactions.
Reason: The Reactome pathway groups all phosphoinositide interconversions under 'synthesis of PIPs', which maps to phosphatidylinositol biosynthetic process. The specific reactions in which MTMR9 participates are 3-dephosphorylation of PI3P and PI(3,5)P2 by MTMR9-bound MTMR6 or MTMR8; MTMR9 contributes as the activating, stabilizing subunit of the dimer that performs the step. The precise process is phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation (GO:0046856), which the gene already carries by IBA; PAINT deliberately retained that process at the MTMR9 node while marking loss of the catalytic activities.

Summary: MTMR8-MTMR9 complex lowers cellular PI3P and suppresses autophagy in HeLa-cell experiments.
Reason: PMID:22647598 shows that co-expressing MTMR8 with MTMR9 lowers PI3P and inhibits autophagic flux, with reciprocal effects after combined knockdown; MTMR9 therefore does part of the work of regulating autophagy by controlling the MTMR8 PI3P phosphatase. The PAINT node (PTN002246859) was seeded only by MTMR9 itself, which is expected and not circular. The term is kept but as non-core: it is a downstream consequence of PI3P-pool control, the evidence is cultured-cell over-expression/RNAi, and MTMR9-only perturbation has not consistently reproduced the phenotype.

MTMR9 lacks the catalytic Cys and Arg of the CX5R motif and so has no phosphatase activity of its own; its function is to raise the activity, and shape the substrate preference, of the active partner it dimerizes with. Shown with purified components and in cells (PMID:19038970, PMID:22647598, and for MTMR7 PMID:12890864).

Summary: MTMR9 binds the myotubularin lipid phosphatases MTMR6 and MTMR8 (and MTMR7).
Reason: The binding is well established (PMID:16787938, PMID:19038970, PMID:22647598) and PAINT propagated this term from MTMR9's own experimental annotation, which is correct and expected. The issue is the term: 'protein phosphatase binding' and its children (PP1, PP2A, PP2B binding, etc.) denote enzymes that dephosphorylate proteins, whereas MTMR6, MTMR7 and MTMR8 are phosphoinositide 3-phosphatases. The parent phosphatase binding (GO:0019902) states the supported claim without implying a protein substrate. The same replacement is applied to every MTMR6/7/8 protein-binding row so the claim is consistent; the question is also raised in suggested_questions.

Summary: Electronic enzyme regulator activity, correct but general.
Reason: True but less specific than the evidence supports. The enzymes MTMR9 regulates are phosphatases and the regulation is activation, so phosphatase activator activity (GO:0019211), which the gene already carries by EXP, is the precise descendant.

Reason: UniProt transfers ruffle localization from the mouse ortholog Q9Z2D0 (same PANTHER subfamily PTHR10807:SF56, ECO:0000250); PMID:24591580 shows that MTMR6 and its partner MTMR9 are needed for late macropinocytosis.

ACCEPT
Summary: MTMR9 forms heterodimeric complexes with MTMR6, MTMR7 and MTMR8.
Reason: Complex formation is the basis of MTMR9's function: it heterodimerizes with active myotubularins and mutually stabilizes them. GO has no specific complex term for MTMR6-MTMR9 or MTMR8-MTMR9, so the general term is as precise as the ontology allows.

GO:0046856 phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: Phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation by MTMR9-containing dimers, propagated from the eukaryotic myotubularin node.
Reason: MTMR9 itself cannot hydrolyse phosphate, but it is the activating, stabilizing subunit of the MTMR6-MTMR9 and MTMR8-MTMR9 dimers that 3-dephosphorylate PI(3,5)P2 and PI3P, so it contributes structure and activation to the step. The PAINT curator handled this explicitly: at the MTMR9 lineage node PTN000086907 they recorded NOT for GO:0004438 and GO:0106018 (catalytic activities) but did not negate GO:0046856, whereas at the other inactive myotubularin node PTN000850005 they negated the process as well. Retaining the process for MTMR9 is a deliberate, defensible decision.

Reason: Heterodimer formation raises MTMR6 and MTMR9 protein levels (PMID:19038970) and slows MTMR8 turnover (PMID:22647598, cycloheximide chase per UniProt). Stabilizing the active partner is part of how MTMR9 sets their output, and MTMR9 does this work directly by binding.

Summary: MTMR9 regulates phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation by controlling the activity and substrate preference of MTMR6 and MTMR8.
Reason: Core process. MTMR9 shifts MTMR6 toward PI(3,5)P2 and MTMR8 toward PI3P and changes the cellular levels of PI5P and PI3P accordingly (PMID:22647598).

Core Functions

Noncatalytic activating subunit of the myotubularin lipid phosphatases MTMR6, MTMR7 and MTMR8: heterodimerizes with them, raises their catalytic rate and sets their substrate preference (PI(3,5)P2 for MTMR6, PI3P for MTMR8), thereby regulating 3-phosphoinositide turnover.

Suggested Questions for Experts

Q: Should binding of an inactive myotubularin to an active myotubularin lipid phosphatase be annotated to GO:0019903 protein phosphatase binding, as PAINT does for MTMR9 and MTMR3/MTMR4, or to the parent GO:0019902 phosphatase binding? The children of GO:0019903 all name protein-substrate phosphatases.

Q: Is the reported ER-Golgi intermediate compartment/Golgi localization of MTMR9 and its effect on VSVG and WNT3A secretion (described in secondary sources but not in the cached primary literature) reproducible with endogenous protein, and does it depend on MTMR6/MTMR8?

Q: What is the MTMR9 homodimer for, and does MTMR9 partition between MTMR6, MTMR7 and MTMR8 in cells where all are expressed?

Suggested Experiments

Experiment: Reconstitute MTMR6-MTMR9 and MTMR8-MTMR9 with coiled-coil swap and point mutants and measure PI3P and PI(3,5)P2 3-phosphatase kinetics on liposomes; determine a dimer structure by cryo-EM.

Hypothesis: MTMR9 sets the substrate preference of MTMR6 and MTMR8 through its coiled-coil dimer interface.

Type: biochemical assay

Experiment: MTMR9 knockout and MTMR9/MTMR8 double knockout cells rescued with wild-type or dimerization-defective MTMR9, scoring PI3P (FYVE probe), LC3 flux and p62 turnover.

Hypothesis: Endogenous MTMR9 restrains autophagy by limiting a PI3P pool via MTMR8.

Type: genetic perturbation
