  • Subunit: 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 (By similarity). Interacts with TP53, SGOL1 and SGOL2. Interacts with AXIN1; the interaction dephosphorylates AXIN1. Interacts with PIM3; this interaction promotes dephosphorylation, ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of PIM3. Interacts with RAF1. Interaction with IGBP1 protects unassembled PPP2CA from degradative ubiquitination. Interacts with GSK3B (via C2 domain) Selected PDB 3D structures from [IMAGE] and Proteopedia [IMAGE] for PPP2CA (see all 16): 2IAE (3D) [IMAGE] 2IE3 (3D) [IMAGE] 2IE4 (3D) [IMAGE] 2NPP (3D) [IMAGE] 2NYL (3D) [IMAGE] 2NYM (3D) [IMAGE]
  • Function:
    PP2A is the major phosphatase for microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs). 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 (By similarity). Can dephosphorylate SV40 large T antigen and p53/TP53. Activates RAF1 by dephosphorylating it at 'Ser-259'
