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.

Requirement of protein phosphatase 2A for recruitment of IQGAP1 to Rac‐bound β1 integrin

TL;DR: PP2A, especially PP2A‐A, functions to maintain F‐actin assembly to which β1Integrin is anchored by recruitment of IQGAP1 to Rac‐β1 integrin.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in SHSY5Y cells exposed to okadaic acid by suppression subtractive hybridization

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used suppression subtractive hybridization in SHSY5Y cells to identify genes that are differentially expressed after OA exposure for different times (3, 24 and 48 h).

Signaling events following the interaction of the neuronal adhesion molecule F3 with the N-terminal domain of tenascin-R.

TL;DR: The results strongly suggest that the F3/tenascin‐R interaction through EGF‐L involves an intracellular activation of serine/threonine kinase(s) in all F3‐expressing cells tested.

Phosphatase Is Responsible for Run Down, and Probably G Protein-mediated Inhibition of Inwardly Rectifying K + Currents in Guinea Pig Chromaffin Cells

TL;DR: The observations suggest that the low potency of AlF complex in inhibiting IIR may be due to interference with phosphatase activity and that the activation of G protein suppresses IIR, probably by enhancing the apparent activity of phosphatases, which may explain run down of the current.

Comparative studies of the actin cytoskeleton response to maitotoxin and okadaic acid.

TL;DR: An MTX- like effect which is distinct from an OA-like effect is defined, in both cases the amount of F-actin diminished at doses that did not affect cell viability.

Protein Measurement with the Folin Phenol Reagent

TL;DR: Procedures are described for measuring protein in solution or after precipitation with acids or other agents, and for the determination of as little as 0.2 gamma of protein.

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.

The kinetics of enzyme-catalyzed reactions with two or more substrates or products. II. Inhibition: nomenclature and theory.

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.
