PP1 is a serine/threonine phosphatase and is a key component of the insulin signaling pathway[1]. PP2A targets proteins in the oncogenic signaling pathways[2]. For PP2A see also HEAT Repeat. PP2C are Mg/Mn-dependent and are essential for the regulation of cell cycle and stress signaling pathways. For details see Protein Phosphatase 2C ABA-regulated Protein Phosphatase 2C ABA Signaling Pathway. PP4 regulates a variety of cellular functions[3]. PP5 is activated by lipids and is involved in signal transduction[4]. Disease Mutations in PP2A are found in many solid cancers and leukemias. PP2A-activating drugs are possible candidates for cancer therapeutics protocols[5]. Development of Alzheimer disease drugs could be based on restoration of PP2A activity[6]. Structural highlights . Algal toxin binds at the surface pocket of the PP2A catalytic subunit which contains the Mn+2 ion cofactors[7].
