Damage-control phosphatase ARMT1

UniProtKB accession:  Q9H993

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Metal-dependent phosphatase that shows phosphatase activity against several substrates, including fructose-1-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate (By similarity). Its preference for fructose-1-phosphate, a strong glycating agent that causes DNA damage rather than a canonical yeast metabolite, suggests a damage-control function in hexose phosphate metabolism (By similarity). Has also been shown to have O-methyltransferase activity that methylates glutamate residues of target proteins to form gamma-glutamyl methyl ester residues (PubMed:25732820). Possibly methylates PCNA, suggesting it is involved in the DNA damage response (PubMed:25732820).
