Protein Domain : PTEN, phosphatase domain IPR045101

Type	Domain
Description	This entry represents the phosphatase domain found in PTEN, which is a magnesium-dependent bifunctional phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate 3-phosphatase/dual-specificity protein phosphatase PTEN ( ; ; ), which possesses the following catalytic activities: Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate + H(2)O = phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate + phosphate.A phosphoprotein + H(2)O = a protein + phosphate.Protein tyrosine phosphate + H(2)O = protein tyrosine + phosphate.This protein acts as a dual-specificity protein phosphatase, dephosphorylating tyrosine-, serine- and threonine-phosphorylated proteins [ ]. It also acts as a lipid phosphatase, removing the phosphate in the D3 position of the inositol ring from phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3,4-diphosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate and inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate. The lipid phosphatase activity is critical for its tumour suppressor function []. PTEN antagonizes the PI3K-AKT/PKB signalling pathway by dephosphorylating phosphoinositides and thereby modulating cell cycle progression and cell survival. The unphosphorylated form of PTEN cooperates with AIP1 to suppress AKT1 activation. PTEN dephosphorylates tyrosine-phosphorylated focal adhesion kinase and inhibits cell migration and integrin-mediated cell spreading and focal adhesion form [].
