protein phosphatase 2A는 bovine brain homogenate의 세포질 fraction에서 얻어졌다. 기질로서 인산화된 histione H1을 이용하여 측정한 phosphatase 의 활성은 dipalmitoyIphophatidylcholine(DPPC) 혹은 phosphatidylserine/DPPC의 혼합물로 구성된 liposome의 존재하에서 저해되었다. Protein phosphatase 2A의 lipid membrane에의 결합은 다중층 지질막의 혼합물 계에서 liposome 의 양이 증가함에 따라서 상등액 중의 phosphatase의 활성이 감소하는 것으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 [$^{125}I$]protein phosphatase 2A가 liposome과 동시에 용출되는 것으로도 확인되었다. 그러나 liposome에 대한 protein phosphatase의 친화력은 높지 않았다. 한편, okadaic acid와 liposome은 협동으로 phosphatase의 활성을 감소시켰다. 이것은 okadaic acid가 lipid membrane이나 membrane에 결함한 phosphatase에는 결합하지 않는다는 것을 의미한다. 그러므로 lipid membrane에 의한 protein phosphatase 2A의 활성 저해 효과는 phosphatase 2A와 lipid membrane과의 결합에 의한 것이라고 설명될 수있다.

Dual-specificity protein phosphatase (DUSP)들은 인산화된 티로신 잔기와 인산화된 세린 또는 트레오닌 잔기를 탈인산화시키는 단백질 탈인산화효소 군을 이루고 있으며, 대부분의 DUSP들은 세포의 생존이나 분화에 관여하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 잘 알려지지 않은 인간 유래의 dual-specificity protein phosphatase인 DUSP28을 인간신장 cDNA에서 분리하였다. 대장균에서 생산된 재조합단백질은 6,8-difluoro-4-methylumbelliferyl phosphate (DiFMUP)에 대하여 좋은 활성을 보였다. 다양한 저해제와 2가 금속이온들이 DUSP28의 활성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 다른 DUSP들에서와는 다르게, $Zn^{2+}$은 DUSP28의 탈인산화활성을 강하게 억제하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 DUSP28이 Zn과 연관된 신호전달경로에 관여할 것으로 추정된다. 더욱이, DUSP28은 인산화된 티로신잔기를 더욱 선호하는 경향이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 이는 세포 내에서도 비슷한 작용을 할 것으로 예상된다.

Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) is a crucial protein complex that plays an important role in DNA damage response (DDR), including DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Despite the significance of PP4, the mechanism by which PP4 is regulated remains to be elucidated. Here, we identified a novel PP4 inhibitor, protein phosphatase 4 inhibitory protein (PP4IP) and elucidated its cellular functions. PP4IP-knockout cells were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and the phosphorylation status of PP4 substrates (H2AX, KAP1, and RPA2) was analyzed. Then we investigated that how PP4IP affects the cellular functions of PP4 by immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair assays. PP4IP interacts with PP4 complex, which is affected by DNA damage and cell cycle progression and decreases the dephosphorylational activity of PP4. Both overexpression and depletion of PP4IP impairs DSB repairs and sensitizes cells to genotoxic stress, suggesting timely inhibition of PP4 to be indispensable for cells in responding to DNA damage. Our results identify a novel inhibitor of PP4 that inhibits PP4-mediated cellular functions and establish the physiological importance of this regulation. In addition, PP4IP might be developed as potential therapeutic reagents for targeting tumors particularly with high level of PP4C expression.

Most cancer cells utilize glucose at a high rate to produce energy and precursors for the biosynthesis of macromolecules such as lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This phenomenon is called the Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis- this distinct characteristic is an attractive target for developing anticancer drugs. Here, we found that Phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK-1) is a substrate of the Protein Phosphatase 4 catalytic subunit (PP4C)/PP4 regulatory subunit 1 (PP4R1) complex by using immunoprecipitation and in vitro assay. While manipulation of PP4C/PP4R1 does not have a critical impact on PFK-1 expression, the absence of the PP4C/PP4R1 complex increases PFK-1 activity. Although PP4C depletion or overexpression does not cause a dramatic change in the overall glycolytic rate, PP4R1 depletion induces a considerable increase in both basal and compensatory glycolytic rates, as well as the oxygen consumption rate, indicating oxidative phosphorylation. Collectively, the PP4C/PP4R1 complex regulates PFK-1 activity by reversing its phosphorylation and is a promising candidate for treating glycolytic disorders and cancers. Targeting PP4R1 could be a more efficient and safer strategy to avoid pleiotropic effects than targeting PP4C directly.

The effects of ginseng saponins, gypsophila saponin, sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), and Triton X-100 on membrane $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase activity which is lipid dependent and represents dephosphorylation step of the complete Na+, $K^+-ATPase$ reaction were investigated in this study to elucidate whether the effects of ginseng saponins are due to the detergent action, using sarcolemma enriched preparation isolated from dog ventricle. $Na^+$, $K^+-ATPase$ and $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase activities of cardiac sarcolemma were about $143\;{\mu}mol$ Pi/mg protein/hr and $34\;{\mu}mol$ p-nitrophenol/mg protein/hr, respectively. While ginseng saponins (triol>total>diol) inhibited $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase activity, gypsophila saponin, and low dose of SDS($0.4\;{\mu}g/{\mu}g$ protein), and Triton X-100 ($0.6\;{\mu}g/{\mu}g$ protein) increased the enzyme activity, indicating disruptive effect of detergents on membrane barriers. The activating effect of low doses of Triton X-100 on membrane $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase appeared at concentration decreasing light scattering. However, the inhibitory effect of ginseng saponin appeared before a decrease in light scattering. These results suggest that low concentrations of ginseng saponins inhibit the membrane $K^+-dependent$ phosphatase by interacting directly with enzyme before membrane disruption.

Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4), one of serine/threonine phosphatases, is involved in many critical cellular pathways, including DNA damage response (DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and apoptosis), tumorigenesis, cell migration, immune response, stem cell development, glucose metabolism, and diabetes. PP4 has been steadily studied over the past decade about wide spectrum of physiological activities in cells. Given the many vital functions in cells, PP4 has great potential to develop into the finding of key working mechanisms and effective treatments for related diseases such as cancer and diabetes. In this review, we provide an overview of the cellular and molecular mechanisms by which PP4 impacts and also discuss the functional significance of it in cell health.

Protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) acts as a negative regulator of insulin signaling, and selective inhibition of PTP1B has served as a potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. As part of our searching for PTP1B inhibitors from natural products, the extracts of marine microorganisms were screened for the inhibitory effects on the activity of protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B). Among the tested 304 extracts, 29 extracts exhibited inhibition rate ranging 40.1 - 83.6 % against PTP1B at the concentration level of $30{\mu}g/mL$.
