Contents

Function

Protein phosphatases (PP) regulate protein phosphorylation and thus are key in intracellular signal transduction processes.

  • PP1 is a serine/threonine phosphatase and is a key component of the insulin signaling pathway[1].
  • PP2A targets proteins in the oncogenic signaling pathways[2]. For PP2A see also HEAT Repeat.
  • PP2C are Mg/Mn- dependent and are essential for the regulation of cell cycle and stress signaling pathways. For details see ABA-regulated Protein Phosphatase 2C.
  • PP4 regulates a variety of cellular functions[3].
  • PP5 is activated by lipids and is involved in signal transduction[4].

Disease

Mutations in PP2A are found in many solid cancers and leukemias. PP2A-activating drugs are possible candidates for cancer therapeutics protocols[5]. Development of Alzheimer disease drugs could be based on restoration of PP2A activity[6].

Structural highlights

Algal toxin binds at the surface pocket of the PP2A catalytic subunit which contains the Mn+2 ion cofactors[7].
