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.

Inhibition of PP2A, but not PP5, mediates p53 activation by low levels of okadaic acid in rat liver epithelial cells.

TL;DR: Results indicate that PP5 blockade is not responsible for OA‐induced p53 activation and G1 arrest in T51B cells, suggesting that PP2A is the target for this response to OA.

Mechanism of the stimulatory action of okadaic acid on lipolysis in rat fat cells

TL;DR: Results suggest that okadaic acid does not increase the catalytic activity of HSL but induces translocation of H SL to the lipid droplets isolated from rat fat cells, and the site of the lipolytic action in relation to the interaction between HSL and lipid droplet is discussed.

Inhibition of alkaline phosphatase activity by okadaic acid, a protein phosphatase inhibitor.

TL;DR: Kinetic analysis of ALP from Escherichia coli, human placental and calf intestinal ALP has shown that OA acts as a non-competitive inhibitor of ALP, which suggests a putative role of ALP in the phosphorylation status, through regulation of the phospharylation/dephosphorylation equilibrium of proteins with phosphoseryl or phosphothreonyl residues.

Reversible activation of glutamate transport in rat brain glia by protein kinase C and an okadaic acid-sensitive phosphoprotein phosphatase.

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that glial EAAT can be regulated by multiple phosphorylation processes and are consistent with previous work on heterogenous EAA transporters.

Modulation of the skeletal muscle ryanodine receptor by endogenous phosphorylation of 160/150-kda proteins of the sarcoplasmic reticulum

TL;DR: A linear relationship was obtained between the degree of ryanodine binding inhibition and the level of phosphorylation of the 160/150-kDa proteins, as controlled by ATP or NaF concentrations.

The direct linear plot. A new graphical procedure for estimating enzyme kinetic parameters

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.
