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: The amounts of norepinephrine released both in the absence of Ca 2+ and in the presence of Ca2+ appear to depend upon the level of protein phosphorylation.

Rapid detection of protein phosphatase activity using Zn(II)-coordinated gold nanosensors based on His-tagged phosphopeptides.
TL;DR: A rapid colorimetric assay based on the controlled assembly and disassembly of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) via Zn(II)-specific coordination in the presence of His6-tagged phosphopeptides that was capable of detecting protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) activity in immunoprecipitated plant extracts.

Overview and perspective on the therapy of Alzheimer's disease from a preclinical viewpoint.
TL;DR: It is concluded that the present level of information on AD could never have been reached without preclinical studies, and the development of new drugs will always require extensive preclinical investigations.

The Calcineurin A homologue from Trypanosoma cruzi lacks two important regulatory domains.
TL;DR: A novel protein from the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi homologous to calcineurin (serine-threonine phosphatase 2B) was identified and characterized and showed a conserved structure, and a reasonable level of similarity over the entire length with calcineURin B proteins from other organisms.

Activation of AP-1 by okadaic acid in mouse keratinocytes associated with hyperphosphorylation of c-jun
TL;DR: The data suggest that skin tumor promotion by OA is due at least in part to increased AP‐1 DNA binding and transactivation mediated by c‐jun hyperphosphorylation.

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.
