Escherichia coli Gph phosphoglycolate phosphatase and related proteins; belongs to the haloacid dehalogenase-like superfamily Phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGP; EC 3.1.3.18) catalyzes the conversion of 2-phosphoglycolate into glycolate and phosphate. Members of this family belong to the haloacid dehalogenase-like (HAD) hydrolases, a large superfamily of diverse enzymes that catalyze carbon or phosphoryl group transfer reactions on a range of substrates, using an active site aspartate in nucleophilic catalysis. Members of this superfamily include 2-L-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase (C-Cl bond hydrolysis), azetidine hydrolase (C-N bond hydrolysis); phosphonoacetaldehyde hydrolase (C-P bond hydrolysis), phosphoserine phosphatase and phosphomannomutase (CO-P bond hydrolysis), P-type ATPases (PO-P bond hydrolysis) and many others. HAD hydrolases are found in all three kingdoms of life, and most genomes are predicted to contain multiple HAD-like proteins. Members possess a highly conserved alpha/beta core domain, and many also possess a small cap domain, the fold and function of which is variable. HAD hydrolases are sometimes referred to as belonging to the DDDD superfamily of phosphohydrolases.
