High impact information on MTMR6

  • Moreover, by inhibiting KCa3.1, MTMR6 functions as a negative regulator of Ca2+ influx and proliferation of reactivated human CD4 T cells [1].
  • Some of these genes encode general apoptotic factors but also exhibit lymphoid cell specificities that could potentially be linked to the development of lymphoid malignancies (MIP1alpha, blk, TR3, mtmr6) [2].
  • We recently found that the KCa3.1 channel also specifically requires phosphatidylinositol-3 phosphate [PI(3)P] for channel activity and is inhibited by myotubularin-related protein 6 (MTMR6), a PI(3)P phosphatase [3].
  • Immunofluorescent microscopy demonstrated that both the MTMR6 CC and PH/G domains are required to co-localize MTMR6 to the plasma membrane with KCa3 [4].
  • We have investigated MTM1 and MTMR6 and find that they use PtdIns(3,5)P2 in addition to PtdIns3P as a substrate in vitro [5].
 

Other interactions of MTMR6

  • We recently found that MTMR6 specifically inhibits the Ca(2+)-activated K(+) channel, KCa3.1, by dephosphorylating PI(3)P [4].
