Abstract

PTEN, a tumor suppressor among the most commonly mutated proteins in human cancer, is recognized to be both a protein phosphatase and a phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5‐trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3) 3‐phosphatase. Previous work [Maehama and Dixon, J. Biol. Chem. 273 (1998) 13375–13378] has led to a consensus that inositol phosphates are not physiologically relevant substrates for PTEN. In contrast, we demonstrate that PTEN is an active inositol 1,3,4,5,6‐pentakisphosphate (Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P 5) 3‐phosphatase when expressed and purified from bacteria or HEK cells. Kinetic data indicate Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P 5 (K m=7.1 μM) and PtdIns(3,4,5)P 3 (K m=26 μM) compete for PTEN in vivo. Transient transfection of HEK cells with PTEN decreased Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P 5 levels. We discuss the physiological significance of these studies in relation to recent work showing that dephosphorylation of Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P 5 to inositol 1,4,5,6‐tetrakisphosphate is a cell signaling event.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The most likely enzyme to generate Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 is PTEN, a well-known tumour suppressor gene that is active in the nucleus and plays a role in chromosome stability.

    “The most likely enzyme is the well-known tumour suppressor gene PTEN42,43, which is known to be active in the nucleus and to play a role in chromosome stability (reviewed in44).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
