Numerous inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases catalyze the degradation of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P(2)) to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P). An alternative pathway to degrade PtdIns-4,5-P(2) is the hydrolysis …
Numerous inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatases catalyze the degradation of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-4,5-P(2)) to phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate (PtdIns-4-P). An alternative pathway to degrade PtdIns-4,5-P(2) is the hydrolysis of PtdIns-4,5-P(2) by a 4-phosphatase, leading to the production of PtdIns-5-P. Whereas the bacterial IpgD enzyme is known to catalyze this reaction, no such mammalian enzyme has been found. We have identified and characterized two previously undescribed human enzymes, PtdIns-4,5-P(2) 4-phosphatase type I and type II, which catalyze the hydrolysis of PtdIns-4,5-P(2) to phosphatidylinositol-5-phosphate (PtdIns-5-P). Both enzymes are ubiquitously expressed and localize to late endosomal/lysosomal membranes in epithelial cells. Overexpression of either enzyme in HeLa cells increases EGF-receptor degradation upon EGF stimulation.
