Phosphoinositide lipid molecules play critical roles in intracellular signalling pathways and are regulated by phospholipases, lipid kinases and phosphatases. In particular, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate are related to endosomal trafficking events through the recruitment of effector proteins and are involved in the degradation step of autophagy. Myotubularin-related proteins (MTMRs) are a large family of phosphatases that catalyze the dephosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate at the D3 position, thereby regulating cellular phosphoinositide levels. In this study, the PH-GRAM domain of human MTMR4 was cloned, overexpressed in Escherichia coli, purified and crystallized by the vapour-diffusion method. The crystals diffracted to 3.20 Å resolution at a synchrotron beamline and belonged to either space group P61 or P65, with unit-cell parameters a = b = 109.10, c = 238.97 Å.

Starvation- or stress-induced phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P/PI3P) production at the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) subdomains organizes phagophore assembly and autophagosome formation. Coat protein complex II (COPII) vesicles budding from ER exit site (ERES) also contribute to autophagosome formation. Whether any PtdIns3P phosphatase functions at ERES to inhibit macroautophagy/autophagy is unknown.

Background: Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a heterogeneous group of disorders involving peripheral nervous system. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease 4B1 (CMT4B1) is a rare subtype of CMT. CMT4B1 is an axonal demyelinating polyneuropathy with an autosomal recessive mode of inheritance.

Myotubularin-related protein 1 (MTMR1) is a phosphatase that belongs to the tyrosine/dual-specificity phosphatase superfamily. MTMR1 has been shown to use phosphatidylinositol 3-monophosphate (PI(3)P) and/or phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PI(3,5)P2) as substrates. Here, we determined the crystal structure of human MTMR1.

Myotubularin-related proteins are a large family of phosphoinositide phosphatases; their activity, stability and subcellular localization are regulated by dimeric interactions with other members of the family. Here, the crystal structure of the phosphatase domain of MTMR8 is reported. Conformational deviation of the two loops that mediate interaction with the PH-GRAM domain suggests that the PH-GRAM domain interacts differently with the phosphatase domain of each MTMR member.
