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

Thapsigargin, a tumor promoter, discharges intracellular Ca2+ stores by specific inhibition of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca2(+)-ATPase.
TL;DR: The results suggest that thapsigargin increases the concentration of cytosolic free Ca2+ in sensitive cells by an acute and highly specific arrest of the endoplasmic reticulum Ca 2+ pump, followed by a rapid Ca2+.

Cyanobacterial microcystin-LR is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A from both mammals and higher plants.
TL;DR: The cyclic heptapeptide, microcystin‐LR, inhibits protein phosphatases 1 (PP1) and 2A (PP2A) with K i, values below 0.1 nM, and this results are strikingly similar to those obtained with the tumour promoter okadaic acid.

TL;DR: In this paper, CTLA-4 and PD-1 signaling inhibited Akt phosphorylation by preventing CD3/CD28-mediated upregulation of glucose metabolism and Akt activity, but each accomplished this regulation using separate mechanisms.

Okadaic acid: a new probe for the study of cellular regulation.
TL;DR: The tumour promoter okadaic acid is a potent and specific inhibitor of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A and is extremely useful for identifying biological processes that are controlled through the reversible phosphorylation of proteins.

TL;DR: A calmodulin-binding protein of Mr 141000 is removed and shown to be a distinct protein on the basis of lack of kinase activity, different chymotryptic peptide maps, and lack of phosphorylation by the purified catalytic subunit of cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase.

Effects of okadaic acid on isometric tension and myosin phosphorylation of chemically skinned guinea-pig taenia coli.
TL;DR: In the case of guinea-pig taenia coli skinned with Triton X-100, the marine sponge toxin okadaic acid (OA; 0.1-10 microM) produced a dose-dependent enhancement of isometric tension in the presence of low concentrations of Ca2+.
