FAM122A, a new endogenous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A
نویسندگان
چکیده
The regulation of the ubiquitously expressed protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is essential for various cellular functions such as cell proliferation, transformation, and fate determination. In this study, we demonstrate that the highly conserved protein in mammals, designated FAM122A, directly interacts with PP2A-Aα and B55α rather than B56α subunits, and inhibits the phosphatase activity of PP2A-Aα/B55α/Cα complex. Further, FAM122A potentiates the degradation of catalytic subunit PP2A-Cα with the increased poly-ubiquitination. In agreement, FAM122A silencing inhibits while its overexpression enhances cell growth and colony-forming ability. Collectively, we identify FAM122A as a new endogenous PP2A inhibitor and its physiological and pathophysiological significances warrant to be further investigated.

How it all started: tau and protein phosphatase 2A.
This review is dedicated to Inge Grundke-Iqbal who laid the foundations of the tau field, by isolating tau from the Alzheimer's disease (AD) brain, discovering that tau is hyperphosphorylated, and proving a critical role of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and its endogenous inhibitor I2PP2A in this process. This memorial starts with a few personal notes, and then covers how subcellular fractionat...
متن کاملFunctional inhibition of protein kinase C-mediated effects in myocardial tissue is due to the phosphatase 2A.
An endogenous protein which inhibits protein kinase C (PKC)-mediated effects has been detected in rat heart ventricular tissue. This functional PKC-inhibitory activity was completely abolished by okadaic acid, making it possible to measure PKC activity in non-purified cell fractions. This suggests that the PKC-inhibitory activity is a type 1 or 2A serine/threonine phosphatase. Confirming this, ...
متن کاملProtein Phosphatase 2A as a Therapeutic Target in Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous malignant disorder of hematopoietic progenitor cells in which several genetic and epigenetic aberrations have been described. Despite progressive advances in our understanding of the molecular biology of this disease, the outcome for most patients is poor. It is, therefore, necessary to develop more effective treatment strategies. Genetic aberrati...
متن کاملCancerous inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A determines bortezomib-induced apoptosis in leukemia cells.
The multiple cellular targets affected by proteasome inhibition implicate a potential role for bortezomib, a first-in-class proteasome inhibitor, in enhancing antitumor activities in hematologic malignancies. Here, we examined the antitumor activity and drug targets of bortezomib in leukemia cells. Human leukemia cell lines were used for in vitro studies. Drug efficacy was evaluated by apoptosi...
متن کاملPurification and properties of a protein inhibitor that inhibits phosphatase 2A activity when hydroxymethylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase is the substrate.
A heat-stable protein inhibitor of the hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase phosphatase 2A activity has been identified and purified to homogeneity, as judged by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The apparent molecular mass was 20,000 Da. The protein lost its inhibitory properties when incubated with trypsin or treated with ethanol. The inhibitor protein does not inhibit type 1 phosphatase whe...
