Specificity varies with the source and with the activating metal ion. The enzyme from some sources may be identical with EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) or EC 3.1.3.9 (glucose-6-phosphatase). cf. EC 7.1.3.1, H+-exporting diphosphatase.

Specificity varies with the source and with the activating metal ion. The enzyme from some sources may be identical with EC 3.1.3.1 (alkaline phosphatase) or EC 3.1.3.9 (glucose-6-phosphatase). cf. EC 7.1.3.1, H+-exporting diphosphatase.
Ca2+, a strong antagonist of Mg2+ and inhibitor of all other PPases, can replace Mg2+ as activator of Mn2+-bound canonical Family II PPases, conferring about 10% of their maximal activity
soluble Family II PPase enzymes require both magnesium and a transition metal ion (manganese or cobalt) for maximal activity and are the most active among all PPase types. Catalysis by s requires four metal ions per substrate molecule, three of which form a unique trimetal center that coordinates the nucleophilic water and converts it to a reactive hydroxide ion. One or two additional sites that bind Mn2+ and Mg2+ with millimolar affinities have been detected in canonical Family II PPases of Streptococcus gordonii. An additional Mg2+ ion is brought to the enzyme as part of a Mg-phosphate complex, the true substrate. In the cell, Mg2+ ions appear to occupy all sites except that containing a transition metal ion
a quarter of Family II PPases contain an autoinhibitory regulatory insert formed by two cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS) domains and one DRTGG domain. Adenine nucleotide binding either activates or inhibits the CBS domain-containing PPases, thereby tuning their activity and, hence, diphosphate levels, in response to changes in cell energy status (ATP/ADP ratio)
inhibits Family I PPases at micromolar concentrations by replacing the nucleophilic water molecule. The effect of fluoride on Family II enzymes strongly depends on the metal cofactor in the tight binding site. Mn/Co enzymes are inhibited weakly by fluoride, but if the transition metal is replaced by Mg2+, fluoride binds 1000times tighter, achieving an affinity characteristic of Family I enzymes
C-substituted derivatives of methylene bisphosphonate, which are nonhydrolyzable diphosphate analogues, bind to Family II PPases 2-3 orders of magnitude more weakly than to Family I enzymes, whereas PNP binds with similar affinity, regardless of the metal cofactor bound
diphosphate, a byproduct and regulator of numerous biosynthetic reactions, is converted to metabolizable phosphate via the action of specific constitutive enzymes-inorganic pyrophosphatases (PPases). Soluble PPases convert diphosphate energy into heat, as opposed to membrane-bound PPases, which employ diphosphate energy to transport H+ or Na+ across membranes in plants and some bacteria, archaea, and protists. Both PPase types can also catalyze the reverse reaction of diphosphate synthesis from phosphate, but this activity does not seem physiologically important
soluble PPases belong to three nonhomologous families, of which family II is found in approximately a quarter of prokaryotic organisms, often pathogenic ones. Each subunit of dimeric canonical Family II PPases is formed by two domains connected by a flexible linker, with the active site located between the domains. The enzymes require both magnesium and a transition metal ion (manganese or cobalt) for maximal activity and are the most active among all PPase types. Soluble PPases convert diphosphate energy into heat, as opposed to membrane-bound PPases, which employ diphosphate energy to transport H+ or Na+ across membranes in plants and some bacteria, archaea, and protists. Soluble PPases belong to three nonhomologous families, I, II, and III. Family I PPases are found in all kingdoms of life, whereas Family II and Family III PPases are found in prokaryotes.

the hinge region plays an important role in opening and closing of the active site between the N- and C-terminal domains of PPase. Family II PPases are dimer under physiological conditions with Mn2+ present, and may dissociate into monomers at low enzyme concentration in the absence of Mn2+
