Description

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).

Review Summary

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.

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.

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).

Rule Definition

Condition Sets

Condition Set 1

2 condition(s)
Notes:

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.

Condition Set 2

2 condition(s)
Notes:

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).

Assessments

NONE

The two FunFams share no Swiss-Prot protein (intersection 0 in the recorded entries).

TOO_NARROW

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.
