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

Acquisition of meiotic competence in growing mouse oocytes is controlled at both translational and posttranslational levels
TL;DR: Results suggest that acquisition of meiotic competence by mouse oocytes is regulated at both translational and posttranslational levels, indicating that translational control may be involved.

Okadaic acid activates microtubule‐associated protein kinase in quiescent fibroblastic cells
TL;DR: The results suggest that MAP kinase is negatively regulated by protein phosphatases 1 and/or 2A in quiescent cells and therefore can be activated by inhibiting these proteinosphatases.

TL;DR: It is shown that rPP2C alpha can inactivate AMPK, but only in the presence of Mg2+.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular mechanisms underlying inhibition of protein phosphatases by marine toxins.
TL;DR: The insights derived from protein phosphatase-1 may help explain different sensitivities of other protein serine/threonine phosphatases to toxin inhibition due to the high degree of structural conservation among many members of this enzyme family.

Cyclosporin A inhibits Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase and secretion in pancreatic acinar cells.
TL;DR: Data indicate that the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase, PP2B, plays a significant role in stimulus-secretion coupling in pancreatic acinar cells and CsA-mediated inhibition occurs only when stimulation involves an increase in intracellular Ca2+.

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.
