Expression, Purification, Crystallization and Preliminary Crystallographic Analysis of Human Myotubularin-Related Protein 3 [PDF]
Myotubularin-related proteins are a large family of phosphatases that have the catalytic activity of dephosphorylating the phospholipid molecules phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate. Each of the 14 family members contains a phosphatase catalytic domain, which is inactive in six family members owing to amino-acid ...

Identification and Localization of a New Human Myotubularin-Related Protein Gene, MTMR8, on 8p22–p23
Myotubularin and myotubularin-related proteins are dual-specificity phosphatases. Several myotubularin-related proteins have been identified in humans and mice. The members of the myotubularin protein family are highly conserved, from humans to yeast. Mutations in the human myotubularin gene (MTM1) lead to X-linked myotubular myopathy.

Characterization of Myotubularin-Related Protein 7 and Its Binding Partner, Myotubularin-Related Protein 9 [PDF]
Myotubularin-related protein 7 (MTMR7) is a member of the myotubularin (MTM) family. The cDNA encoding the mouse MTMR7 contains 1,983 bp, and the predicted protein has a deduced molecular mass of 75.6 kDa. Northern and Western blot analyses showed that MTMR7 is expressed mainly in brain and mouse neuroblastoma N1E-115 cells ...

Myotubularin-Related Protein Protects Against Neuronal Degeneration Mediated by Oxidative Stress or Infection [PDF]
Microbial infections have been linked to the onset and severity of neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, but the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we used a genetic screen for genes involved in protection from infection-associated neurodegeneration and identified the

Multi-Level Regulation of Myotubularin-Related Protein-2 Phosphatase Activity by Myotubularin-Related Protein-13/Set-Binding Factor-2. [PDF]
Mutations in myotubularin-related protein-2 (MTMR2) or MTMR13/set-binding factor-2 (SBF2) genes are responsible for the severe autosomal recessive hereditary neuropathies, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) types 4B1 and 4B2, both characterized by reduced nerve conduction velocities, focally folded myelin sheaths and demyelination.

Crystallization and Preliminary X-Ray Crystallographic Analysis of Human Myotubularin-Related Protein 1 [PDF]
Myotubularin-related protein 1 is a phosphatase that dephosphorylates phospholipids such as phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate or phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate. In this study, human MTMR1 was overexpressed inEscherichia coli, purified and crystallized at 277 K using polyethylene glycol 20 000 as a precipitant. Diffraction data were collected to 2.

Association of SET Domain and Myotubularin-Related Proteins Modulates Growth Control
Nature Genetics, 1998Several proteins that contribute to epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation contain a characteristic motif of unknown function called the SET (Suvar3-9, Enhancer-of-zeste, Trithorax) domain. We have demonstrated that SET domains mediate highly conserved interactions with a specific family of proteins that display similarity with dual-specificity ...

Human Myotubularin-Related Protein 9 Regulates ER-to-Golgi Trafficking and Modulates WNT3A Secretion [PDF]
Regulation of phosphatidylinositol phosphates plays a crucial role in signal transduction, membrane trafficking or autophagy. Members of the myotubularin family of lipid phosphatases contribute to phosphoinositide metabolism by counteracting the activity of phosphoinositide kinases.

Myotubularin Related Protein 7 Is Essential for the Spermatogonial Stem Cell Homeostasis via PI3K/AKT Signaling [PDF]
Myotubularin related protein 7 (MTMR7), a key member of the MTMR family, depicts phosphatase activity and is involved in myogenesis and tumor growth. We have previously identified MTMR7 in the proteomic profile of mouse spermatogonial stem cell (SSC) maturation and differentiation, implying that MTMR7 is associated with neonatal testicular development.
