General annotation (Comments)

Function

PP2A can modulate the activity of phosphorylase B kinase casein kinase 2, mitogen-stimulated S6 kinase, and MAP-2 kinase. Cooperates with SGOL2 to protect centromeric cohesin from separase-mediated cleavage in oocytes specifically during meiosis I. Activates RAF1 by dephosphorylating it at 'Ser-259' By similarity.

Catalytic activity

A phosphoprotein + H2O = a protein + phosphate.

Cofactor

Binds 1 iron ion per subunit By similarity.

Binds 1 manganese ion per subunit By similarity.

Subunit structure

PP2A consists of a common heterodimeric core enzyme, composed of PPP2CA a 36 kDa catalytic subunit (subunit C) and PPP2R1A a 65 kDa constant regulatory subunit (PR65 or subunit A), that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. Proteins that associate with the core dimer include three families of regulatory subunits B (the R2/B/PR55/B55, R3/B''/PR72/PR130/PR59 and R5/B'/B56 families), the 48 kDa variable regulatory subunit, viral proteins, and cell signaling molecules. Interacts with NXN; the interaction is direct. Interacts with TP53, SGOL1 and SGOL2. Interacts with AXIN1; the interaction dephosphorylates AXIN1 By similarity. Interacts with PIM3; this interaction promotes dephosphorylation, ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of PIM3 By similarity. Interacts with RAF1 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity. Nucleus By similarity. Chromosomecentromere By similarity. Cytoplasmcytoskeletonspindle pole By similarity. Note: In prometaphase cells, but not in anaphase cells, localizes at centromeres. During mitosis, also found at spindle poles. Centromeric localization requires the presence of SGOL2 By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Reversibly methyl esterified on Leu-309. Carboxyl methylation may play a role in holoenzyme assembly, enhancing the affinity of the PP2A core enzyme for some, but not all, regulatory subunits. It varies during the cell cycle By similarity.

Phosphorylation of either threonine (by autophosphorylation-activated protein kinase) or tyrosine results in inactivation of the phosphatase. Auto-dephosphorylation has been suggested as a mechanism for reactivation By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the PPP phosphatase family. PP-1 subfamily.
