TLDR
Kinetic studies showed that okadaic acid acts as a non-competitive or mixed inhibitor on the okadaIC acid-sensitive enzymes.Abstract:
The inhibitory effect of a marine-sponge toxin, okadaic acid, was examined on type 1, type 2A, type 2B and type 2C protein phosphatases as well as on a polycation-modulated (PCM) phosphatase. Of the protein phosphatases examined, the catalytic subunit of type 2A phosphatase from rabbit skeletal muscle was most potently inhibited. For the phosphorylated myosin light-chain (PMLC) phosphatase activity of the enzyme, the concentration of okadaic acid required to obtain 50% inhibition (ID50) was about 1 nM. The PMLC phosphatase activities of type 1 and PCM phosphatase were also strongly inhibited (ID50 0.1-0.5 microM). The PMCL phosphatase activity of type 2B phosphatase (calcineurin) was inhibited to a lesser extent (ID50 4-5 microM). Similar results were obtained for the phosphorylase a phosphatase activity of type 1 and PCM phosphatases and for the p-nitrophenyl phosphate phosphatase activity of calcineurin. The following phosphatases were not affected by up to 10 microM-okadaic acid: type 2C phosphatase, phosphotyrosyl phosphatase, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate phosphatase, acid phosphatases and alkaline phosphatases. Thus okadaic acid had a relatively high specificity for type 2A, type 1 and PCM phosphatases. Kinetic studies showed that okadaic acid acts as a non-competitive or mixed inhibitor on the okadaic acid-sensitive enzymes.read more

TL;DR: Recommendations on methodologies for hazard monitoring and risk assessment, establishment of causality of intoxications in human cases, a roadmap for research and development of human-relevant functional assays, as well as new approaches for a consumer directed safety concept are provided.

TL;DR: The cell biological determinants of MCPyV entry into A549 cells, a highly transducible lung carcinoma cell line, are analyzed in comparison to well-studied simian virus 40 and a number of other viruses, and the virus was found to acquire a membrane envelope within endosomes, a phenomenon not reported for other viruses.

TL;DR: The results confirm that the rPP2Ac prepared is an excellent tool for detecting and quantifying microcystins in water and was more sensitive than an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method and a cytotoxicity assay.

Production of chemokine CXCL1/KC by okadaic acid through the nuclear factor-κB pathway
TL;DR: This is the first report to show that the tumor promoter OKA can stimulate the de novo synthesis and secretion of KC, and that this stimulation is mediated through the NF-kappaB pathway in JB6 cells.

A Mg2+-dependent, Ca2+-inhibitable Serine/Threonine Protein Phosphatase from Bovine Brain
TL;DR: Although the precise physiological role of this phosphatase is not yet known, its ability to dephosphorylate a wide variety of phosphoproteins and its broad distribution, as shown by a survey of mouse tissues for its activity, suggest that it may serve an important cellular function.

Discovery of A Ca2+-and calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase
TL;DR: The serine residue on the a-sub unit, as well as that on the@subunit, becomes phosphorylated in vivo in response to adrenaline, suggesting that it may have a physiological function.

The protein phosphatases involved in cellular regulation. 1. Classification and substrate specificities.
TL;DR: Examination of the amino acid sequences around each phosphorylation site does not support the idea that protein phosphatase specificity is determined by the primary structure in the immediate vicinity of the phosphorylated site, and demonstrates that proteinosphatase-1 and protein phosph atase 2A have very broad substrate specificities.
