In enzymology, a 5-phytase (EC 3.1.3.72) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

myo-inositol hexakisphosphate + H2O 1L-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate + phosphate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are myo-inositol hexakisphosphate and H2O, whereas its two products are 1L-myo-inositol 1,2,3,4,6-pentakisphosphate and phosphate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on phosphoric monoester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is myo-inositol-hexakisphosphate 5-phosphohydrolase.

Prevalence

Of the hundreds of phytase enzymes that have been characterized in the literature, only two have been characterized as 5-phytases.[1] A histidine acid phosphatases purified from lily pollen[2] and a protein tyrosine phosphatase-like phytase from Selenomonas ruminantium subsp. lactilytica[1] were both found to have specificity for the 5-phosphate position of myo-inositol hexakisphosphate.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only the phytase purified from lily pollen had its structure solved, with PDB accession codes 1U24, 1U25, 1U26, 2B4O, 2B4P, and 2B4U.
