Abstract
Phosphatases are important enzymes in a variety of biochemical pathways in different cells which they catalyze opposing reactions of phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, which may modulate the function of crucial signaling proteins in different cells. This is an important mechanism in the regulation of intracellular signal transduction pathways in many cells. Phosphatases play a key role in regulating signal transduction. It is known that phosphatases are specific for cleavage of either serine-threonine or tyrosine phosphate groups. To date, numerous compounds have been identified. This paper reviews the classification, roles and pharmacological of protein serine/threonine phosphates.

Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency (G6P deficiency), or glycogen storage disease type I (GSDI), is a group of inherited metabolic diseases, including types Ia and Ib, characterized by poor tolerance to fasting, growth retardation and hepatomegaly resulting from accumulation of glycogen and fat in the liver. Prevalence is unknown and annual incidence is around 1/100,000 births. GSDIa is the more frequent type, representing about 80% of GSDI patients. The disease commonly manifests, between the ages of 3 to 4 months by symptoms of hypoglycemia (tremors, seizures, cyanosis, apnea). Patients have poor tolerance to fasting, marked hepatomegaly, growth retardation (small stature and delayed puberty), generally improved by an appropriate diet, osteopenia and sometimes osteoporosis, full-cheeked round face, enlarged kydneys and platelet dysfunctions leading to frequent epistaxis. In addition, in GSDIb, neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction are responsible for tendency towards infections, relapsing aphtous gingivostomatitis, and inflammatory bowel disease. Late complications are hepatic (adenomas with rare but possible transformation into hepatocarcinoma) and renal (glomerular hyperfiltration leading to proteinuria and sometimes to renal insufficiency). GSDI is caused by a dysfunction in the G6P system, a key step in the regulation of glycemia. The deficit concerns the catalytic subunit G6P-alpha (type Ia) which is restricted to expression in the liver, kidney and intestine, or the ubiquitously expressed G6P transporter (type Ib). Mutations in the genes G6PC (17q21) and SLC37A4 (11q23) respectively cause GSDIa and Ib. Many mutations have been identified in both genes,. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Diagnosis is based on clinical presentation, on abnormal basal values and absence of hyperglycemic response to glucagon. It can be confirmed by demonstrating a deficient activity of a G6P system component in a liver biopsy. To date, the diagnosis is most commonly confirmed by G6PC (GSDIa) or SLC37A4 (GSDIb) gene analysis, and the indications of liver biopsy to measure G6P activity are getting rarer and rarer. Differential diagnoses include the other GSDs, in particular type III (see this term). However, in GSDIII, glycemia and lactacidemia are high after a meal and low after a fast period (often with a later occurrence than that of type I). Primary liver tumors and Pepper syndrome (hepatic metastases of neuroblastoma) may be evoked but are easily ruled out through clinical and ultrasound data. Antenatal diagnosis is possible through molecular analysis of amniocytes or chorionic villous cells. Pre-implantatory genetic diagnosis may also be discussed. Genetic counseling should be offered to patients and their families. The dietary treatment aims at avoiding hypoglycemia (frequent meals, nocturnal enteral feeding through a nasogastric tube, and later oral addition of uncooked starch) and acidosis (restricted fructose and galactose intake). Liver transplantation, performed on the basis of poor metabolic control and/or hepatocarcinoma, corrects hypoglycemia, but renal involvement may continue to progress and neutropenia is not always corrected in type Ib. Kidney transplantation can be performed in case of severe renal insufficiency. Combined liver-kidney grafts have been performed in a few cases. Prognosis is usually good: late hepatic and renal complications may occur, however, with adapted management, patients have almost normal life span. DISEASE NAME AND SYNONYMS: Glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency or G6P deficiency or glycogen storage disease type I or GSDI or type I glycogenosis or Von Gierke disease or Hepatorenal glycogenosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analysis of epidemiological data concerning GSD I in Tunisia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS All the cases diagnosed as GSD I between 1992 and 2005 in a paediatric department recruiting all the metabolic diseases referred from the North of Tunisia were reviewed. Individual data (sex, socioeconomic and educational background, geographic origins, insurance coverage) were collected and pedigrees were reconstituted. RESULTS Twenty-two cases (9 boys and 13 girls from 20 homes) were identified. Fourteen belonged to 11 families originating from the North of Tunisia; ten of them are still alive. Both parents in 4 homes (21%) and one parent in 9 homes (47%) were illiterate. Most of the homes (60%) had a low income and 45% comprised at least 3 children. Only 7 homes (35%) had health insurance. Pedigrees indicated 44 infant deaths and at least 10 other cases fulfilling the clinical features of GSD I but not diagnosed. CONCLUSION The paediatric prevalence of GSD I in the North of Tunisia can be estimated to 7.93 cases per one million inhabitants and its incidence to 1/100,000 births. However, it is likely to be more frequent because of underreporting or underdiagnosis leading to precocious deaths.

Abstract
Glycogen storage disease type Ib (GSD-Ib) is caused by deficiencies in the glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) transporter (G6PT) that have been well characterized. Interestingly, deleterious mutations in the G6PT gene were identified in clinical cases of GSD type Ic (GSD-Ic) proposed to be deficient in an inorganic phosphate (P(i)) transporter. We hypothesized that G6PT is both the G6P and P(i) transporter. Using reconstituted proteoliposomes we show that both G6P and P(i) are efficiently taken up into P(i)-loaded G6PT-proteoliposomes. The G6P uptake activity decreases as the internal:external P(i) ratio decreases and the P(i) uptake activity decreases in the presence of external G6P. Moreover, G6P or P(i) uptake activity is not detectable in P(i)-loaded proteoliposomes containing the p.R28H G6PT null mutant. The G6PT-proteoliposome-mediated G6P or P(i) uptake is inhibited by cholorgenic acid and vanadate, both specific G6PT inhibitors. Glucose-6-phosphatase-alpha (G6Pase-alpha), which facilitates microsomal G6P uptake by G6PT, fails to stimulate G6P uptake in P(i)-loaded G6PT-proteoliposomes, suggesting that the G6Pase-alpha-mediated stimulation is caused by decreasing G6P and increasing P(i) concentrations in microsomes. Taken together, our results suggest that G6PT has a dual role as a G6P and a P(i) transporter and that GSD-Ib and GSD-Ic are deficient in the same G6PT gene.

Abstract
The SLC37 family of four predicted proteins is an almost unexplored group of transmembrane sugar transporters. Of the four proteins/genes assigned to date to this family, only one is well known, the SLC37A4 gene (also known as the glucose-6-phosphate transporter 1, G6PT1) mutated in the glycogen storage disease non-1A type. Data on SLC3A1 gene expression are available for humans, while data on SLC37A2 are available for mice. The last SLC37 family member, SLC37A3, is only a putative gene/protein identified by in silico analyses. The four genes are not clustered in a single chromosome as regions and the identity of their predicted polypeptides is between 60 and 20%. Here we propose a new nomenclature for the SLC37 proteins (SPX: sugar- phosphate e xchangers) numbered according to the gene numbering.

Abstract
Deficiency of a microsomal phosphate transporter in the liver has been suggested in some patients affected by glycogen storage disease type Ic (GSD Ic). Several Na(+)/phosphate co-transporters have been characterized as members of the anion-cation symporter family. Recently, the cDNA sequence of two phosphate transporters, NPT3 and NPT4, expressed in liver, kidney and intestine, has been determined. We studied expression of human NPT4 in COS cells and observed an ER localization of the transporter by immunofluorescence microscopy. We speculated that this transporter could play a role in the regulation of the glucose-6-phosphatase (G6-Pase) complex. We revealed the genomic structure of NPT4 and analysed the gene as a candidate for GSD Ic. DNA was collected from five patients without mutations in G6-Pase or the G6-P transporter gene. DNA analysis of NPT4 revealed that one patient was heterozygous for a G>A transition at nucleotide 601 which would result in a G201R substitution. Our results do not confirm the hypothesis that this gene is mutated in GSD Ic patients. However, we cannot exclude that the mutation found reduces the phosphate transport efficiency, possibly modulating the G6-Pase complex.

Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphatase is a multicomponent system located in the endoplasmic reticulum, involving both a catalytic subunit (G6PC) and several substrate and product carriers. The glucose-6-phosphate carrier is called G6PT1. Using light scattering, we determined K(D) values for phosphate and glucose transport in rat liver microsomes (45 and 33mM, respectively), G6PT1 K(D) being too low to be estimated by this technique. We provide evidence that phosphate transport may be carried out by an allosteric multisubunit translocase or by two distinct proteins. Using chemical modifications by sulfhydryl reagents with different solubility properties, we conclude that in G6PT1, one thiol group important for activity is facing the cytosol and could be Cys(121) or Cys(362). Moreover, a different glucose-6-phosphate translocase, representing 20% of total glucose-6-phosphate transport and insensitive to N-ethylmaleimide modification, could coexist with liver G6PT1. In the G6PC protein, an accessible thiol group is facing the cytosol and, according to structural predictions, could be Cys(284).

Abstract
Progress has continued to be made over the past 4 years in our understanding of the glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) system. The gene for a second component of the system, the putative glucose-6-P transporter (G6PT), was cloned, and mutations in this gene were found in patients diagnosed with glycogen storage disease type 1b. The functional characterization of this putative G6PT has been initiated, and the relationship between substrate transport via the G6PT and catalysis by the system's catalytic subunit continues to be explored. A lively debate over the feasibility of various aspects of the two proposed models of the G6Pase system persists, and the functional/structural relationships of the individual components of the system remain a hot topic of interest in G6Pase research. New evidence supportive of physiologic roles for the biosynthetic functions of the G6Pase system in vivo also has emerged over the past 4 years.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Glycogen storage disease type I (GSD I) is a relatively rare metabolic disease and therefore, no metabolic centre has experience of large numbers of patients. To document outcome, to develop guidelines about (long-term) management and follow-up, and to develop therapeutic strategies, the collaborative European Study on GSD I (ESGSD I) was initiated. This paper is a descriptive analysis of data obtained from the retrospective part of the ESGSD I. Included were 231 GSD Ia and 57 GSD Ib patients. Median age of data collection was 10.4 years (range 0.4-45.4 years) for Ia and 7.1 years (0.4-30.6 years) for Ib patients. Data on dietary treatment, pharmacological treatment, and outcome including mental development, hyperlipidaemia and its complications, hyperuricaemia and its complications, bleeding tendency, anaemia, osteopenia, hepatomegaly, liver adenomas and carcinomas, progressive renal disease, height and adult height, pubertal development and bone maturation, school type, employment, and pregnancies are presented. Data on neutropenia, neutrophil dysfunction, infections, inflammatory bowel disease, and the use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor are presented elsewhere (Visser et al. 2000, J Pediatr 137:187-191; Visser et al. 2002, Eur J Pediatr DOI 10.1007/s00431-002-1010-0). CONCLUSION there is still wide variation in methods of dietary and pharmacological treatment of glycogen storage disease type I. Intensive dietary treatment will improve, but not correct completely, clinical and biochemical status and fewer patients will die as a direct consequence of acute metabolic derangement. With ageing, more and more complications will develop of which progressive renal disease and the complications related to liver adenomas are likely to be two major causes of morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), an enzyme found mainly in the liver and the kidneys, plays the important role of providing glucose during starvation. Unlike most phosphatases acting on water-soluble compounds, it is a membrane-bound enzyme, being associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. In 1975, W. Arion and co-workers proposed a model according to which G6Pase was thought to be a rather unspecific phosphatase, with its catalytic site oriented towards the lumen of the endoplasmic reticulum [Arion, Wallin, Lange and Ballas (1975) Mol. Cell. Biochem. 6, 75--83]. Substrate would be provided to this enzyme by a translocase that is specific for glucose 6-phosphate, thereby accounting for the specificity of the phosphatase for glucose 6-phosphate in intact microsomes. Distinct transporters would allow inorganic phosphate and glucose to leave the vesicles. At variance with this substrate-transport model, other models propose that conformational changes play an important role in the properties of G6Pase. The last 10 years have witnessed important progress in our knowledge of the glucose 6-phosphate hydrolysis system. The genes encoding G6Pase and the glucose 6-phosphate translocase have been cloned and shown to be mutated in glycogen storage disease type Ia and type Ib respectively. The gene encoding a G6Pase-related protein, expressed specifically in pancreatic islets, has also been cloned. Specific potent inhibitors of G6Pase and of the glucose 6-phosphate translocase have been synthesized or isolated from micro-organisms. These as well as other findings support the model initially proposed by Arion. Much progress has also been made with regard to the regulation of the expression of G6Pase by insulin, glucocorticoids, cAMP and glucose.

Abstract
The regulation of glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) catalytic subunit and glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) transporter gene expression by insulin in conscious dogs in vivo and in tissue culture cells in situ were compared. In pancreatic-clamped, euglycemic conscious dogs, a 5-h period of hypoinsulinemia led to a marked increase in hepatic G-6-Pase catalytic subunit mRNA; however, G-6-P transporter mRNA was unchanged. In contrast, a 5-h period of hyperinsulinemia resulted in a suppression of both G-6-Pase catalytic subunit and G-6-P transporter gene expression. Similarly, insulin suppressed G-6-Pase catalytic subunit and G-6-P transporter gene expression in H4IIE hepatoma cells. However, the magnitude of the insulin effect was much greater on G-6-Pase catalytic subunit gene expression and was manifested more rapidly. Furthermore, cAMP stimulated G-6-Pase catalytic subunit expression in H4IIE cells and in primary hepatocytes but had no effect on G-6-P transporter expression. These results suggest that the relative control strengths of the G-6-Pase catalytic subunit and G-6-P transporter in the G-6-Pase reaction are likely to vary depending on the in vivo environment.

Abstract
Glycogen storage disease type 1 (GSD 1) comprises a group of autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorders caused by deficiency of the microsomal multicomponent glucose-6-phosphatase system. Of the two known transmembrane proteins of the system, malfunction of the catalytic subunit (G6Pase) characterizes GSD 1a. GSD 1 non-a is characterized by defective microsomal glucose-6-phosphate or pyrophosphate/phosphate transport due to mutations in G6PT (glucose-6-phosphate translocase gene) encoding a microsomal transporter protein. Mutations in G6Pase and G6PT account for approximately 80 and approximately 20% of GSD 1 cases, respectively. G6Pase and G6PT work in concert to maintain glucose homeostasis in gluconeogenic organs. Whereas G6Pase is exclusively expressed in gluconeogenic cells, G6PT is ubiquitously expressed and its deficiency generally causes a more severe phenotype. Rapid confirmation of clinically suspected diagnosis of GSD 1, reliable carrier testing, and prenatal diagnosis are facilitated by mutation analyses of the chromosome 11-bound G6PT gene as well as the chromosome 17-bound G6Pase gene.
