Assigns GO:0004438 phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate phosphatase activity through two condition sets: CATH FunFam 2.30.29.30:FF:000038 in Primates (MTM1, MTMR1, MTMR2) and CATH FunFam 3.30.40.10:FF:000073 in Eukaryota (the FYVE-domain region of MTMR3 and MTMR4).
Condition-set counts describe the sets recorded in this review, which may omit the full rule.
No domain overlap table is shown: the cached overlap analysis for this version of the review is not available.

Both live condition sets were checked against Swiss-Prot. Set 1 is supported: its 5 reviewed matches all carry GO:0004438 with non-electronic evidence. Set 2 is not specific to myotubularins. Of its 19 reviewed matches, 6 are MTMR3 or MTMR4 experimentally annotated to GO:0004438, for example Q9NYA4 MTMR4 by IDA from PMID:11302699, and 13 are insect Lst2 homologues that have a FYVE domain but no phosphatase domain and carry GO:0004438 only from this rule (e.g. Q9VB70, IEA GO_REF:0000117 with ARBA:ARBA00035068). In UniProtKB as a whole, 126 of 3192 matches of set 2 (3.9%) lack the myotubularin phosphatase domain IPR010569.
Set 2 rests on a FunFam of the FYVE zinc-finger region, which MTMR3 and MTMR4 share with unrelated FYVE proteins. The rule therefore assigns a phosphatase activity to Lst2 homologues that have no phosphatase domain. Set 1 is sound.
Correct: Q13615 (MTMR3) GO:0004438 IDA PMID:10900271; Q9NYA4 (MTMR4) GO:0004438 IDA PMID:11302699 and PMID:20736309. Incorrect: Q9VB70 (Drosophila Lst2 homologue) GO:0004438 IEA GO_REF:0000117 with ARBA:ARBA00035068; its InterPro signatures (IPR000306, IPR011011, IPR013083, IPR017455, IPR043269, IPR051118, IPR063883) are FYVE zinc-finger and LST2 entries, with no IPR010569; PANTHER PTHR46465 LATERAL SIGNALING TARGET PROTEIN 2 HOMOLOG. Human Lst2 homologue Q9HCC9 is curated as a negative regulator of EGFR signalling. Set 2 in UniProtKB: 3192 matches, 3066 with IPR010569, 126 without (82 of those in Arthropoda). QuickGO lists 3476 annotations attributed to ARBA:ARBA00035068 (2026-11-10).
Swiss-Prot entries matching this set (2026-11-09): 5. 5 carry GO:0004438 or a descendant with evidence other than ARBA (5 non-IEA, 0 other IEA); 0 carry it only from ARBA; 0 do not carry it. UniProtKB entries matching: 284. This FunFam lies in CATH superfamily 2.30.29.30 and all five matches are MTM1, MTMR1 or MTMR2.
Swiss-Prot entries matching this set (2026-11-09): 19. 6 carry GO:0004438 or a descendant with evidence other than ARBA (6 non-IEA, 0 other IEA); 13 carry it only from ARBA; 0 do not carry it. Not supported: Q9VB70 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); B4G2G5 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); B4IC49 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); B4JHI7 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); Q7QAJ2 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); B3MT31 (Lateral signaling target protein 2 homolog); and others. UniProtKB entries matching: 3192. The 13 unsupported entries are insect Lateral signaling target protein 2 (Lst2) homologues, FYVE-domain proteins without a myotubularin phosphatase domain. Of the 3192 UniProtKB matches, 126 lack InterPro IPR010569 (Myotubularin-like, phosphatase domain).
The two FunFams share no Swiss-Prot protein (intersection 0 in the recorded entries).
Set 1 is limited to Primates, but all 15 Swiss-Prot members of FunFam 2.30.29.30:FF:000038 in any taxon (human, mouse, rat, bovine, chicken, Xenopus, zebrafish, orangutan) carry GO:0004438. The restriction costs coverage; it does not cause wrong annotation.

action: MODIFY
action_rationale: Set 2 rests on a FunFam of the FYVE zinc-finger region, which MTMR3 and MTMR4 share with unrelated
FYVE proteins. The rule therefore assigns a phosphatase activity to Lst2 homologues that have no phosphatase domain.
Set 1 is sound.
suggested_modifications:
- Add InterPro IPR010569 (Myotubularin-like, phosphatase domain) as a required condition of set 2. This keeps 3066
of the 3192 UniProtKB matches and removes the 126 that lack the phosphatase domain, including the Lst2 homologues.

confidence: 0.8
corrections:

withdrawn_claim: The rule lacks safeguards against pseudophosphatase family members that retain the domains but
lack catalytic activity.

withdrawn_claim: Both FunFams were shown to be 100% contained in GO:0004438 in Swiss-Prot (15 of 15 and 19 of
19), so the annotation is biochemically accurate for both sets.

withdrawn_claim: The Primates restriction on set 1 is arbitrary and an inconsistency that should be harmonised

correction: A narrower taxon than necessary limits coverage but does not make any annotation wrong, and the two
