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: Flow cytometry analysis demonstrated that apoptosis was induced when the cells were treated with okadaic acid (OKA) and plus trans-dehydrocrotonin (t-DCTN) this effect was two-fold increased and could be due to oxidative stress, revealed by increase of GSH content.

Toll-Like Receptor 9 Ligand Blocks Osteoclast Differentiation Through Induction of Phosphatase
Alla Amcheslavsky,Zvi Bar-Shavit +1 more
TL;DR: CpG‐ODN blocks osteoclast differentiation because it induces phosphatase, shifting the pattern of ERK phosphorylation from sustained to transient, which results in the degradation of c‐fos, an essential molecule for osteOClast differentiation.

Inhibition of CREB binding protein-beta-catenin signaling down regulates CD133 expression and activates PP2A-PTEN signaling in tumor initiating liver cancer cells.
TL;DR: A novel functional link between CBP-beta-catenin and PP2A-PTEN-AKT pathway in liver TICs is found and could be a novel therapeutic target to prevent liver tumor initiation and cancer recurrence.

Activity of Smooth Muscle Phosphatases 1 and 2A in Rabbit Basilar Artery in Vasospasm
TL;DR: A significant decrease in activity of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A in vasospasm may result in uninterrupted vascular smooth muscle contraction by the preservation of phosphorylation of not only myosin light chain but also calponin and caldesmon.

Mechanisms of antagonistic action of internal Ca2+ on serotonin-induced potentiation of Ca2+ currents in Helix neurones
P. G. Kostyuk,E. A. Lukyanetz +1 more
TL;DR: The findings show that the molecular mechanism ofCa2+-induced suppression of the cAMP-dependent upregulation of Ca2+ channels is due to involvement of two Ca2-CM-dependent enzymes: PDE reducing the camp level, and CN causing channel dephosphorylation.

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.

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.
