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

Stimulation of α1-adrenoceptors and Protein Kinase C-mediated Activation of Ecto-5′-Nucleotidase in Rat Hearts in vivo
TL;DR: The data provide the first evidence that α1‐adrenoceptor stimulation and the subsequent activation of PKC can increase adenosine concentrations in interstitial spaces of ventricular muscle in vivo, through activation of endogenous ecto‐5′‐nucleotidase.

Biochemical characterization of recombinant yeast PPZ1, a protein phosphatase involved in salt tolerance
TL;DR: The recombinant protein, after purification by a single affinity chromatography step, displayed phosphatase activity towards a number of substrates, including myelin basic protein, histone 2A and casein, but was ineffective in dephosphorylating glycogen phosphorylase.

Two Ancient Bacterial-like PPP Family Phosphatases from Arabidopsis Are Highly Conserved Plant Proteins That Possess Unique Properties
TL;DR: The unique properties and high conservation of the plant SLP phosphatases, coupled to their exclusion from animals, red algae, cyanobacteria, archaea, and most bacteria, render understanding the function(s) of this new subclass of PPP family protein phosphatase of particular interest difficult.

Inhibition of protein synthesis in a cell-free system and Vero cells by okadaic acid, a diarrhetic shellfish toxin.
TL;DR: Investigating its effects on protein synthesis in Vero cells and rabbit reticulocyte lysate found that protein synthesis is probably the main target and the first of okadaic acid's cytotoxic effects, and the inhibition of DNA and RNA synthesis isprobably a consequence of the inhibited protein synthesis.

H. Weiner,Mark Stitt +1 more
TL;DR: The activity of a type 2A protein phosphatase from spinach leaves was monitored using phosphorylated sucrose‐phosphate synthase (SPS) as a substrate and it is concluded that activation of SPS involves an interconversion of multiple forms of Sps‐P activity.

TL;DR: A new plot is described for analysing the results of kinetic experiments in which the Michaelis-Menten equation is obeyed, and provides clear and accurate information about the quality of the observations, and identifies aberrant observations.

TL;DR: A nomenclature is proposed to describe different types of inhibitions of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, particularly for reactions with more than one substrate and product, and the rate equations for such inhibitions are discussed.

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.
