Function
The protein tyrosine phosphatase localized to the Mitochondrion 1 (PTPMT1) is a dual specificity phosphatases (DUSP) that catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphothreonine, phosphoserine and/or phosphotyrosine residues in lipid or protein substrates. Its name came from the fact that it was the first phosphatase identified exclusively in mitochondria [3]. PTPMT1 is a phosphatase directed to the mitochondria by an N-terminal sequence and is found anchored in the inner mitochondrial membrane with its phosphatase domain facing the matrix.
Biological roles
One of the best known functions of this phosphatase is its participation in the biosynthetic pathway of cardiolipin [3], a phospholipid that makes up the inner mitochondrial membrane and is essential for metabolic functions, crest structuring and mitochondrial dynamics [5]. In this process, PTPMT1 is responsible for the dephosphorylation step of phosphatidylglycerolphosphate (PGP) forming phosphatidylglycerol (PG), which is the substrate of cardiolipin synthase. PTPMT1 is also involved in glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells. The silencing of this phosphatase in the INS-1 832/13 cell line results in a significant increase in ATP production and insulin secretion [2]. These results were further explained, based on the discovery that PTPMT1 is able to dephosphorylate and, consequently, inactivate succinate dehydrogenase, an enzyme that participates in the reaction of succinate to fumarate, and is probably important in the regulation of this enzyme in the Krebs cycle [4].
