Sulfation of glycosaminoglycans depends on catalytic activity of a lithium-inhibited phosphatase
2021-06-24
Abstract excerpt
Golgi-resident bisphosphate nucleotidase 2 (BPNT2) is a member of a family of magnesium-dependent/lithium-inhibited phosphatases that share a three-dimensional structural motif that directly coordinates metal binding to effect phosphate hydrolysis. BPNT2 is responsible for the breakdown of 3’-phosphoadenosine-5’-phosphate (PAP), a by-product of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) sulfation. Disruption of BPNT2 in mice leads t...
