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 findings indicate that CX3CL1 negatively modulates AMPA receptor function at active glutamatergic synapses through cell-signaling pathways by influencing the balance between kinase and phosphatase activity.

TL;DR: The finding of frequent PPP2R1A mutations in high‐grade serous carcinoma of the endometrium but not in high-grade serious carcinomaof the ovary provides clear genetic evidence that these are distinct diseases.

Vasopressin rapidly increases phosphorylation of UT-A1 urea transporter in rat IMCDs through PKA
TL;DR: It is concluded that vasopressin increases UT-A1 phosphorylation via protein kinase A within 2-5 min in rat IMCDs, which suggests that phosphorylations of UT- A1 may be the mechanism by which vasopressingin rapidly increases urea permeability in vivo.

Jasmonic acid-dependent and -independent wound signal transduction pathways are differentially regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin in Arabidopsis thaliana.
TL;DR: Indomethacin did not affect either induction of these genes by JA or wound-induced expression of WR genes, suggesting that JA synthesis is only needed for wound-dependent induction of JR genes, and also that separate JA-dependent and -independent wound signal transduction pathways exist in Arabidopsis.

Protein-tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors block tumor necrosis factor-dependent activation of the nuclear transcription factor NF-kappa B
Sanjaya Singh,Bharat B. Aggarwal +1 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that PTPase is involved either directly or indirectly in the pathway leading to the activation of NF-κB, and critical sulfhydryl groups in the PTP enzyme must be involved in NF-σκB activation by TNF.

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.
