Generation of active protein phosphatase 2A is coupled to holoenzyme assembly. [PDF]
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a prime example of the multisubunit architecture of protein serine/threonine phosphatases. Until substrate-specific PP2A holoenzymes assemble, a constitutively active, but nonspecific, catalytic C subunit would constitute

Detection of a protein phosphatase 2A holoenzyme in Neurospora crassa. [PDF]
A high molecular mass (about 280 kDa) protein phosphatase 2A holoenzyme was detected in a crude N. crassa extract by gel filtration coupled with phosphatase activity assays. According to Western blot analysis the holoenzyme consists of a 36-kDa catalytic

The G-protein-coupled receptor phosphatase: a protein phosphatase type 2A with a distinct subcellular distribution and substrate specificity. [PDF]
Phosphorylation of G-protein-coupled receptors plays an important role in regulating their function. In this study the G-protein-coupled receptor phosphatase (GRP) capable of dephosphorylating G-protein-coupled receptor kinase-phosphorylated receptors is

Effects of Newly Synthesized DCP-LA-Phospholipids on Protein Kinase C and Protein Phosphatases
Background/Aims: The linoleic acid derivative DCP-LA selectively activates PKCε and inhibits protein phosphatase 1 (PP1). In the present study, we have newly synthesized phosphatidyl-ethanolamine, -serine, -choline, and -inositol containing DCP-LA at the

Defects of protein phosphatase 2A causes corticosteroid insensitivity in severe asthma. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Corticosteroid insensitivity is a major barrier of treatment for some chronic inflammatory diseases, such as severe asthma, but the molecular mechanism of the insensitivity has not been fully elucidated.

Phosphorylation Promotes the Accumulation of PERIOD Protein Foci
Circadian clock drives the 24-h rhythm in our behavior and physiology. The molecular clock consists of a series of transcriptional/translational feedback loops operated by a number of clock genes.

Functional cdc25C dual-specificity phosphatase is required for S-phase entry in human cells [PDF]
In view of the common regulatory mechanism that induces transcription of tie mitotic phosphatase cdc25C and cyclin A at the beginning of S-phase, we investigated whether cdc25C was required for S-phase transit.

Therapeutic relevance of the protein phosphatase 2A in cancer
Chromosomal Instability (CIN) is regarded as a unifying feature of heterogeneous tumor populations, driving intratumoral heterogeneity. Polo-Like Kinase 1 (PLK1), a serine-threonine kinase that is often overexpressed across multiple tumor types, is one of the key regulators of CIN and is considered as a potential therapeutic target.

Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A), initially reported as a tumor-associated antigen (known as p90), is highly expressed in most solid and hematological tumors. The interaction of CIP2A/p90, protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), and c-Myc can

Protein tyrosine phosphatase TbPTP1:A molecular switch controlling life cycle differentiation in trypanosomes [PDF]
Differentiation in African trypanosomes (Trypanosoma brucei) entails passage between a mammalian host, where parasites exist as a proliferative slender form or a G0-arrested stumpy form, and the tsetse fly.
