== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/IPYR1_ARATH IPYR1_ARATH] Catalyzes the irreversible hydrolysis of pyrophosphate (PPi) to phosphate. The MgPPi(2-) complex binds to the enzyme only after a free Mg(2+) ion has bound (Ref.9). No activity with glycerol-3-phosphate, glucose-6-phosphate, p-nitrophenylphosphate, ADP, NADP(+), NAD(+),NADH, NADPH or phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate as substrates (Ref.9). Controls the equilibrium of gluconeogenic reactions in the heterotrophic growth phase of early seedling establishment. Determinates the rate of cytosolic glycolysis, providing carbon for seed storage lipid accumulation (PubMed:22566496).<ref>PMID:22566496</ref> [REFERENCE:9]

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases, EC 3.6.1.1), which hydrolyze inorganic pyrophosphate to phosphate in the presence of divalent metal cations, play a key role in maintaining phosphorus homeostasis in cells. DNA coding inorganic pyrophosphatases from Arabidopsis thaliana ( At PPA1) and Medicago truncatula ( Mt PPA1) were cloned into a bacterial expression vector and the proteins were produced in Escherichia coli cells and crystallized. In terms of their subunit fold, At PPA1 and Mt PPA1 are reminiscent of other members of Family I soluble pyrophosphatases from bacteria and yeast. Like their bacterial orthologs, both plant PPases form hexamers, as confirmed in solution by multi-angle light scattering and size-exclusion chromatography. This is in contrast to the fungal counterparts, which are dimeric. Unexpectedly, the crystallized At PPA1 and Mt PPA1 proteins lack ~30 amino acid residues at their N-termini, as independently confirmed by chemical sequencing. In vitro , self-cleavage of the recombinant proteins is observed after prolonged storage or during crystallization. The cleaved fragment corresponds to a putative signal peptide of mitochondrial targeting, with a predicted cleavage site at Val31-Ala32. Site-directed mutagenesis shows that mutations of the key active site Asp residues dramatically reduce the cleavage rate, which suggests a moonlighting proteolytic activity. Moreover, the discovery of autoproteolytic (rather than mitochondrion-mediated) cleavage of a mitochondrial-targeting peptide would change our perception of this signaling process.
