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

Regulation of RCK1 Currents with a cAMP Analog via Enhanced Protein Synthesis and Direct Channel Phosphorylation
TL;DR: Extended treatment with 8-bromoadenosine 3′,5′-cyclic monophosphorothioate ((Sp)-8-Br-cAMPS), a membrane-permeant cAMP analog, enhances the current amplitude and increases the amounts of both wild-type and mutant channel proteins.

Role of protein phosphatase in activation of KCl cotransport in human erythrocytes.
D. M. Kaji,Y. Tsukitani +1 more
TL;DR: Analysis of the time course of activation of K transport upon swelling revealed that okadaic acid not only decreased the final steady-state flux but also markedly increased the time lag for activation, providing the first evidence thatactivation of KCl cotransport in human erythrocytes is regulated by phosphoprotein phosphatase.

TL;DR: Genistein and tyrphostin-25, a competitive PTK inhibitor, have been shown to inhibit platelet-activating factor-stimulated prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-primed P388D1 macrophage-like cells as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: It is proposed that SEB plays a key role in the mechanism of SET-related leukemogenesis and tumorigenesis, perhaps by suppressing SET function or by regulating the transforming activity of Ski in the nucleus.

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.
