Marine Longilenes, Oxasqualenoids with Ser-Thr Protein Phosphatase 2A Inhibition Activity
The red seaweed Laurencia viridis is a rich source of oxygenated secondary metabolites that were derived from squalene. We report here the structures of three novel compounds, (+)-longilene peroxide (1), longilene (2), and (+)-prelongilene (3) that were ...

Protein phosphatase 2A is a specific protamine-kinase-inactivating phosphatase [PDF]
Purified preparations of a protamine protein kinase from bovine kidney cytosol [Damuni, Amick & Sneed (1989) J. Biol. Chem. 264, 6412-6416] were inactivated after incubation with near-homogeneous preparations of protein phosphatase 2A1 and protein phosphatase 2A2.

Tau hyperphosphorylation correlates with reduced methylation of protein phosphatase 2A
The down-regulation of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity is thought to play an important role in the formation of tau hyperphosphorylation in the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain. Methylation of the PP2A catalytic subunit at the L309 site can potently

Protein interactome of the Cancerous Inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) in Th17 cells
Cancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (CIP2A) is involved in immune response, cancer progression, and Alzheimer's disease. However, an understanding of the mechanistic basis of its function in this wide spectrum of physiological and pathological ...

Free Fatty Acids Inhibit Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B and Activate Akt
Background/Aims: Accumulating evidence has suggested that free fatty acids (FFAs) interact with protein kinases and protein phosphatases. The present study examined the effect of FFAs on protein phosphatases and Akt.

Phosphoproteomics identifies a bimodal EPHA2 receptor switch that promotes embryonic stem cell differentiation [PDF]
Embryonic Stem Cell (ESC) differentiation requires complex cell signalling network dynamics, although the key molecular events remain poorly understood.

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

Therapeutic reactivation of protein phosphatase 2A in acute myeloid leukemia
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a serine/threonine phosphatase that is required for normal cell growth and development. PP2A is a potent tumor suppressor, which is inactivated in cancer cells as a result of genetic deletions and mutations.

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.
