Abstract

The characterization of the multiple inositol polyphosphate phosphatase (MIPP) is fundamental to our understanding of how cells control the signalling activities of ‘higher’ inositol polyphosphates. We now describe our isolation of a 2.3 kb cDNA clone of a rat hepatic form of MIPP. The predicted amino acid sequence of MIPP includes an 18 amino acid region that aligned with approximately 60% identity with the catalytic domain of a fungal inositol hexakisphosphate phosphatase (phytase A); the similarity encompassed conservation of the RHGXRXP signature of the histidine acid phosphatase family. A histidine-tagged, truncated form of MIPP was expressed in Escherichia coli and the enzymic specificity of the recombinant protein was characterized: Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 was hydrolysed, first to Ins(1,4,5,6)P4 and then to Ins(1,4,5)P3, by consecutive 3- and 6-phosphatase activities. Inositol hexakisphosphate was catabolized without specificity towards a particular phosphate group, but in contrast, MIPP only removed the β-phosphate from the 5-diphosphate group of diphosphoinositol pentakisphosphate. These data, which are consistent with the substrate specificities of native (but not homogeneous) MIPP isolated from rat liver, provide the first demonstration that a single enzyme is responsible for this diverse range of specific catalytic activities. A 2.5 kb transcript of MIPP mRNA was present in all rat tissues that were examined, but was most highly expressed in kidney and liver. The predicted C-terminus of MIPP is comprised of the tetrapeptide SDEL, which is considered a signal for retaining soluble proteins in the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum; the presence of this sequence provides a molecular explanation for our earlier biochemical demonstration that the endoplasmic reticulum contains substantial MIPP activity [Ali, Craxton and Shears (1993) J. Biol. Chem. 268, 6161-6167].

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).”

    From Structure of Hdac3 Bound to Co-Repressor and Inositol Tetraphosphate (2012) · cites this paper as [42]

    The ‘Enzymic activity of recombinant MIPP’ section reports that MIPP converts Ins(1,3,4,5,6)P5 to a product consistent with Ins(1,4,5,6)P4. The Discussion identifies MIPP as an endoplasmic-reticulum protein, not nuclear PTEN. The paper does not make the attributed claim about PTEN or chromosome stability. (LLM, conf=0.86)

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.
