Inhibition of calcineurin by cyclosporin A‐cyclophilin requires calcineurin B [PDF]
The interaction of the immunosuppressive complex cyclosporin A‐cyclophilin (CsA‐CyP) with the Ca2+/calmodulin‐dependent protein phosphatase calcineurin is investigated using a recombinant form of the A subunit of calcineurin (rCNA). Only in the presence of purified calcineurin B (CNB) does rCNA show the response of native calcineurin, i.e.

Calcineurin: Form and Function
Calcineurin is a eukaryotic Ca2+- and calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine protein phosphatase. It is a heterodimeric protein consisting of a catalytic subunit calcineurin A, which contains an active site dinuclear metal center, and a tightly associated, myristoylated, Ca2+-binding subunit, calcineurin B.

Calcineurin is a Ser/Thr phosphatase whose function is implicated in critical physiological processes such as immune system activation, fetal heart development, and long-term depression in neurons. Calcineurin has been implicated in the progression of Alzheimer’s disease and cardiac hypertrophy. It is not well understood how calcineurin is activated on

The Role of NFATC4 Gene in Human Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Nuclear factor of activated T-cells, cytoplasmic 4 (NFATC4) has been implicated in keratinocyte development and several types of cancer. A well-defined role for NFATC4 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) has not yet been established.

AKAP79 enables calcineurin to directly suppress protein kinase A activity
Interplay between the second messengers cAMP and Ca2+ is a hallmark of dynamic cellular processes. A common motif is the opposition of the Ca2+-sensitive phosphatase calcineurin and the major cAMP receptor, protein kinase A (PKA).
