Structure of a complex between the A subunit of protein phosphatase 2A and the small t antigen of SV40
Structural highlights
Function[2AAA_HUMAN] The PR65 subunit of protein phosphatase 2A serves as a scaffolding molecule to coordinate the assembly of the catalytic subunit and a variable regulatory B subunit. Required for proper chromosome segregation and for centromeric localization of SGOL1 in mitosis.[1] [ST_SV40] Promotes efficient viral genome replication by accelerating both G1 and S phase progression of the cell cycle. Inhibits host PP2A by binding to the A subunit, thereby displacing lower affinity regulatory B subunit. Inactivation of PP2A in turn results in the transactivation of cyclin A and cyclin D1 promoters. Late during the infection cycle, ST may induce dephosphorylation of host eIF4E-binding protein EIF4EBP1 leading to the inhibition of cap-dependent translation. May establish and maintain high levels of viral genomes during persistent infection in cell culture.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMedThe small t antigen (ST) of DNA tumor virus SV40 facilitates cellular transformation by disrupting the functions of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) through a poorly defined mechanism. The crystal structure of the core domain of SV40 ST bound to the scaffolding subunit of human PP2A reveals that the ST core domain has a novel zinc-binding fold and interacts with the conserved ridge of HEAT repeats 3-6, which overlaps with the binding site for the B' (also called PR61 or B56) regulatory subunit. ST has a lower binding affinity than B' for the PP2A core enzyme. Consequently, ST does not efficiently displace B' from PP2A holoenzymes in vitro. Notably, ST inhibits PP2A phosphatase activity through its N-terminal J domain. These findings suggest that ST may function mainly by inhibiting the phosphatase activity of the PP2A core enzyme, and to a lesser extent by modulating assembly of the PP2A holoenzymes.
