Actions of PP2A on the MAP kinase pathway and apoptosis are mediated by distinct regulatory subunits.
Individual subunits of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), protein phosphatase 4, and protein phosphatase 5 were knocked out in Drosophila Schneider 2 cells by using RNA interference. Ablation of either the scaffold (A) or catalytic (C) subunits of PP2A caused the disappearance of all PP2A subunits. Treating cells with double-stranded RNA targeting all four of the Drosophila PP2A regulatory subunits...
متن کاملFocal Cerebral Ischemia Reduces Protein Phosphatase 2A Subunit B Expression in Brain Tissue and HT22 Cells
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a serine and threonine protein phosphatase that regulates cell cycle progression and apoptosis. PP2A is composed of various subunits. Among these subunits, subunit B plays an important role in the modulation of PP2A function in the brain. This study investigated PP2A subunit B expression levels after neuronal cell injury. Middle cerebral artery occlusions (MCAO)...
متن کاملPP2A mediates apoptosis or autophagic cell death in multiple myeloma cell lines
The crosstalk between apoptosis and autophagy contributes to tumorigenesis and cancer therapy. The process by which BetA (betulinic acid), a naturally occurring triterpenoid, regulates apoptosis and autophagy as a cancer therapy is unclear. In this study, we show for the first time that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) acts as a switch to regulate apoptosis and autophagic cell death mediated by Be...
متن کاملProtein phosphatase 2A dephosphorylation of phosphoserine 112 plays the gatekeeper role for BAD-mediated apoptosis.
BAD, a proapoptotic molecule of the BCL2 family, is regulated by reversible phosphorylation. During survival, BAD is sequestered by 14-3-3 through serine 136 phosphorylation and is dissociated from BCL-X(L) through serine 155 phosphorylation. We report that phosphoserine 112 (pSer112) dephosphorylation functions as a gatekeeper for BAD-mediated apoptosis. During apoptosis, dephosphorylation of ...
متن کاملPKR negatively regulates leukemia progression in association with PP2A activation, Bcl-2 inhibition and increased apoptosis
Reduced expression and activity of the proapoptotic, double-stranded RNA-dependent protein kinase, PKR (protein kinase R) is observed in breast, lung and various leukemias, suggesting that loss of PKR potentiates transformation. Now we report that decreased PKR activity inhibits chemotherapy-induced apoptosis of leukemia cells both in vitro and in vivo. Inhibition of PKR expression or activity ...
