p(INTERPRO:"Protein phosphatase 2A, regulatory B subunit, B56")
The B′ regulatory subunit shows remarkable structural mimicry to the scaffold subunit and contains 8 HEAT-like repeats PubMed:19277525
To gain full activity towards specific substrates, the PP2A core enzyme interacts with a variable regulatory subunit to form a heterotrimeric holoenzyme. The variable regulatory subunits consist of four families: B (also known as B55 or PR55), B′ (B56 or PR61), B′′ (PR48/PR72/PR130), and B′′′ (PR93/PR110), with at least 16 members in these families PubMed:19277525
Except the B′′′ subunits, direct interactions between the PP2A core enzyme and the regulatory subunits have been demonstrated PubMed:19277525
The B′ regulatory subunit shows remarkable structural mimicry to the scaffold subunit and contains 8 HEAT-like repeats PubMed:19277525
For example, two regions of the B′ subunit were found to mediate interaction with the scaffold subunit of PP2A PubMed:19277525
Furthermore, the B′ subunit makes significant interactions with the catalytic subunit of PP2A, which consequently strengthens the inter-subunit packing, making the resulting holoenzyme relatively compact and rigid (Figure 2B). PubMed:19277525
For instance, some B’ subunits target PP2A to the nucleus (McCright et al., 1996) or the centrosome (Flegg et al.,2010); Bα subunits can direct some PP2A pools to microtubules, which could serve as a cytoskeletal reservoir of inac- tive enzymes (Sontag et al.,1995; Hiraga and Tamura,2000).
