Abstract

The human IMPA2 gene encoding myo-inositol monophosphatase 2 is highly implicated with bipolar disorder but the substrates and the reaction mechanism of myo-inositol monophosphatase 2 have not been well elucidated.9 In the present study, we constructed 3D models of three- and two-Mg2+-ion bound myo-inositol monophosphatase 2, and studied substrate-binding manners using the docking program AutoDock3. The subsequent study showed that the three-metal-ion model could interact with myo-inositol monophosphates, as follows: The phosphate moiety coordinated three Mg2+ ions, and the inositol ring formed hydrogen bonds with the amino acids conserved in the family. Furthermore, the OH group vicinal to the phosphate group formed a hydrogen bond with a non-bridging oxygen atom of the phosphate. These interactions have been proposed as crucial for forming the transitional state, bipyramidal structure in the bovine myo-inositol monophosphatase. We therefore propose that the human myo-inositol monophosphatase 2 interacts with myo-inositol monophosphates in the three-metal-ion bound form, and proceeds the dephosphorylation through the three-metal-ion theory.
