In these experiments, the fragments spanning Par-3 PDZ1 and C-term2-1 (amino acid 1020–1217) showed a robust interaction with PP1␣, whereas PDZ3 bound more weakly and PDZ2, C-term2-2 (amino acid 1217–1333), or MBP alone did not bind (Fig. 2A). A common feature of many PP1-interacting proteins is the RVXF motif, [RK]-X0,1-[V/I]-[F/W], which mediates the associa- tion with a hydrophobic groove on the surface of PP1 (21). Par-3 harbors a single degenerate RVXF motif located at the C-terminal border of PDZ1, spanning residues 351–355 (RVIWF). Mutation of key residues to alanine (RVIWF to AVIWA) significantly decreased but did not completely abrogate binding of the first PDZ domain to PP1␣ (Fig. 2B). However, immunoprecipitating YFP-tagged Par-3 containing the RVXF mutation from 293T cells coexpressing 2xmyc PP1␣ did not reveal a substantial difference in binding when compared with wild-type YFP-Par-3, most likely because of the secondary binding sites present in Par-3 (Fig. S2C). Collectively, these results indicate that PP1␣ directly binds multiple regions of Par-3, including the first PDZ domain, which contains a degenerate RVXF motif. Par-3 Does Not Inhibit The Enzymatic Activity of PP1␣. To address whether Par-3 influences the activity of PP1␣, Par-3 immunocom- plexes (Fig. S4A), isolated from MDCKII cells, were monitored for their ability to dephosphorylate a phosphopeptide known to be a substrate for both PP1 and PP2A (Fig. 3A, DMSO).

Several cellular and developmental events, e.g., plant growth regulator (PGR) mediated signaling pathways are regulated by reversible phosphorylation of vesicle traffic proteins. Reviewing present knowledge on the relevant role of PP2A is timely. We discuss three aspects: (1) PP2A regulates microtubule-mediated vesicle delivery during cell plate assembly. PP2A dephosphorylates members of the microtubule associated protein family MAP65, promoting their binding to microtubules. Regulation of phosphatase activity leads to changes in microtubule organization, which affects vesicle traffic towards cell plate and vesicle fusion to build the new cell wall between dividing cells. (2) PP2A-mediated inhibition of target of rapamycin complex (TORC) dependent signaling pathways contributes to autophagy and this has possible connections to the brassinosteroid signaling pathway. (3) Transcytosis of vesicles transporting PIN auxin efflux carriers. PP2A regulates vesicle localization and recycling of PINs related to GNOM (a GTP–GDP exchange factor) mediated pathways. The proper intracellular traffic of PINs is essential for auxin distribution in the plant body, thus in whole Citation: Máthé, C.; M-Hamvas, M.; plant development.

  • The Regulatory Roles of Phosphatases in Cancer
    Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953 & 2014 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0950-9232/14 www.nature.com/onc REVIEW The regulatory roles of phosphatases in cancer J Stebbing1, LC Lit1, H Zhang, RS Darrington, O Melaiu, B Rudraraju and G Giamas The relevance of potentially reversible post-translational modifications required for controlling cellular processes in cancer is one of the most thriving arenas of cellular and molecular biology. Any alteration in the balanced equilibrium between kinases and phosphatases may result in development and progression of various diseases, including different types of cancer, though phosphatases are relatively under-studied. Loss of phosphatases such as PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), a known tumour suppressor, across tumour types lends credence to the development of phosphatidylinositol 3--kinase inhibitors alongside the use of phosphatase expression as a biomarker, though phase 3 trial data are lacking. In this review, we give an updated report on phosphatase dysregulation linked to organ-specific malignancies. Oncogene (2014) 33, 939–953; doi:10.1038/onc.2013.80; published online 18 March 2013 Keywords: cancer; phosphatases; solid tumours GASTROINTESTINAL MALIGNANCIES abs in sera were significantly associated with poor survival in Oesophageal cancer advanced ESCC, suggesting that they may have a clinical utility in Loss of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on ESCC screening and diagnosis.5 chromosome 10) expression in oesophageal cancer is frequent, Cao et al.6 investigated the role of protein tyrosine phosphatase, among other gene alterations characterizing this disease. Zhou non-receptor type 12 (PTPN12) in ESCC and showed that PTPN12 et al.1 found that overexpression of PTEN suppresses growth and protein expression is higher in normal para-cancerous tissues than induces apoptosis in oesophageal cancer cell lines, through in 20 ESCC tissues.
