First, conformational flexibility of the scaffold subunit is required for binding to the catalytic subunit and possibly other interacting proteins such as the regulatory subunits. PubMed:19277525
A recent report also indicates the existence of regulated phosphorylation of the scaffolding A subunit on Ser/Thr residues, which affects its binding to the catalytic subunit and PP2A signaling in the heart (Kotlo et al.,2014). PubMed:24653673
The specificity in this in vitro system is quite robust, as evidenced by the observation that the PP2A core enzyme exhibited a lower activity to dephosphorylate the Tau protein than the PP2A holoenzyme involving the B subunit, but a higher activity than the holoenzyme involving the B′ subunit PubMed:19277525
In fact, competition experiments using recombinant proteins suggested that, compared to the unmethylated form, the methylated PP2A core enzyme exhibited a higher binding affinity for the B subunit PubMed:19277525
