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

Differentiation induction in human breast tumor cells by okadaic acid and related inhibitors of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A
TL;DR: The results indicate that OA and related agents can induce tumor breast cell differentiation, and this induction is correlated with their ability to inhibit PPH 1 and 2A.

TL;DR: The NMR‐based characterization of the FTY720‐SET complex reveals an alternative mechanism for the attenuation of the inhibitory SET‐PP2A interaction, and suggests that the PP2A holoenzyme is selectively activated in response to the formation of the SET‐FTY720 complex in A549 cells.

TL;DR: The okadaic effect on the gene expression of antioxidant and phase II detoxifying enzymes in liver is studied and a downregulation in the expression of these enzymes and a reduction of protein expression of catalase and superoxide dismutase 1 is observed in intoxicated animals.

Neuromodulators enhance transmitter release by two separate mechanisms at the inhibitor of crayfish opener muscle.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the acceleration in release kinetics and the increase in total release are two separate mechanisms for enhancing transmitter output and that these two mechanisms can be activated without changes in presynaptic calcium dynamics.

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.
