They were sampled from the base of a deep sea hydrothermal vent in 2600m of water, local tempurature was 85°C. The complete 1.66 mega base pairs of its genome has been sequenced, about 1738 genes were identified. Most of them were determined to be homologous to eukaryotic proteins<ref>PMID: 8688087</ref>. |

| - | + | As the dual activity indicates, the substrate specificity of this enzyme is particularly low. Proposed evolutionary cousins of this enzyme are regulated by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_monophosphate| Adenosine monophosphate] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fructose_2,6-bisphosphate| Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate]. However, there are no such allosteric regulatory binding sites on the MJ0109 protein. Additionally, ''M. jannaschii'' IMPase has a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IC50| IC50] for Li+ of >150mM, compared to the Li+ IC50 of human IMPase <1mM<ref name="rasmol"/>. | |

This is due to the rather unforgiving environment toward mutations of these microbes. Given that the MJ0109 protein lacks substrate specificity and regulatory sites, and possess activity of two separate pathways in Eukaryotes; it is a reasonable assumption that this enzyme is an evolutionary snap shot of an original phosphatase approximation<ref name="rasmol"/>. |
