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

Okadaic acid and p13suc1 modulate the reinitiation of meiosis in mouse oocytes
TL;DR: Short‐term exposure to okadaic acid (OA), a specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A, induced resumpton of meiosis, including metaphase spindle formation, in mouse oocytes treated with a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, while long incubations with OA arrested oocyte maturation at a step prior toSpindle formation.

Regulation of c-jun expression during induction of monocytic differentiation by okadaic acid.
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that okadaic acid treatment is associated with induction of a differentiated monocyte phenotype characterized by growth arrest, increases in Mac-1 cell surface antigen expression, and down-regulation of c-myc transcripts.

Production of 7‐deoxy‐okadaic acid by a new caledonian strain of prorocentrum lima (dinophyceae)
TL;DR: The solvent washes currently used for solid‐phase clean‐up of ADAM‐derivatized DSP samples elute derivatized 7‐deoxy‐okadaic acid, indicating that the current sample clean-up protocol for HPLC‐fluorescence detection would miss any contamination by this toxin.

PAPP5 is involved in the tetrapyrrole mediated plastid signalling during chloroplast development
TL;DR: The results suggest that PAPP5 receives an inbalance in the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis through the accumulation of Mg-ProtoIX and acts as a negative regulator of PhANG expression during chloroplast biogenesis and development.

TL;DR: Electrophysiological experiments characterizing the fraction's effect on isolated vertebrate neuromuscular preparations revealed that it depolarizes the muscle membrane and reduces the driving force for endplate potentials evoked by nerve stimulation, blocking directly- and indirectly-elicited muscle twitches.

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.
