Myotubularin-related phosphatase 5 is a critical determinant of autophagy in neurons [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
ABSTRACT Autophagy is a conserved, multi-step process of capturing proteolytic cargo in autophagosomes for lysosome degradation. The capacity to remove toxic proteins that accumulate in neurodegenerative disorders attests to the disease-modifying potential of the autophagy pathway.

Myotubularin is mis-localized in IMGD muscle.

open access: yes, 2013
In muscle sections from control dogs, myotubularin is predominantly expressed in type II fibers expressing SERCA1. In affected IMGD dogs, massive myotubularin accumulations formed a concentric network around the fiber center.

Multi-level regulation of myotubularin-related protein-2 phosphatase activity by myotubularin-related protein-13/set-binding factor-2 [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2006
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.

From dynamic live cell imaging to 3D ultrastructure: novel integrated methods for high pressure freezing and correlative light-electron microscopy. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BACKGROUND: In cell biology, the study of proteins and organelles requires the combination of different imaging approaches, from live recordings with light microscopy (LM) to electron microscopy (EM).

Characterization of the myotubularin dual specificity phosphatase gene family, from yeast to human

open access: yes, 1998
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a severe congenital muscle disorder due to mutations in the MTM1 gene. The corresponding protein, myotubularin, contains the consensus active site of tyrosine phosphatases (PTP) but otherwise shows no homology to ...

GRAMD4 inhibits tumour metastasis by recruiting the E3 ligase ITCH to target TAK1 for degradation in hepatocellular carcinoma

open access: yesClinical and Translational Medicine, 2021
Background Aberrant TAK1 (transforming growth factor β‐activated kinase 1) activity is known to be involved in a variety of malignancies, but the regulatory mechanisms of TAK1 remain poorly understood.

Population Genomic Analysis in Wild Medaka Populations: Identifying Candidate Loci for Balancing Selection

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 10, October 2026.
We explored genomic signatures of balancing selection and selective sweep in the northern medaka, Oryzias sakaizumii in Japan by performing whole‐genome resequencing of wild individuals. In addition, we reevaluated the population genetic structure and admixture of Oryzias latipes and O.

Interplay between myotubularins and Ca2+ homeostasis

open access: yesBiochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Molecular Cell Research
The myotubularin family, encompassing myotubularin 1 (MTM1) and 14 myotubularin-related proteins (MTMRs), represents a conserved group of phosphatases featuring a protein tyrosine phosphatase domain. Nine members are characterized by an active phosphatase domain C(X)5R, dephosphorylating the D3 position of PtdIns(3)P and PtdIns(3,5)P2.

Genetic and Pharmacologic Inhibition of Myostatin Restores Muscle Mass in a Dynamin 2‐Related Centronuclear Myopathy Mouse Model

open access: yesJournal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Autosomal dominant centronuclear myopathy (ADCNM), most commonly caused by mutations in the dynamin 2 (DNM2) gene, is a rare congenital myopathy characterized by progressive muscle weakness and atrophy. Myostatin, a key negative regulator of skeletal muscle mass, has shown therapeutic potential in several models of neuromuscular ...

The myotubularin phosphatase MTMR4 regulates sorting from early endosomes [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cell Science, 2010
Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PtdIns(3)P] regulates endocytic trafficking and the sorting of receptors through early endosomes, including the rapid recycling of transferrin (Tfn). However, the phosphoinositide phosphatase that selectively opposes this function is unknown. The myotubularins are a family of eight catalytically active and six inactive
