Activation of hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase by glutamate and Mg2+ is mediated by protein phosphatase-2A.
The activation of hepatic acetyl-CoA carboxylase by Na(+)-cotransported amino acids such as glutamine has been attributed mainly to the stimulation of its dephosphorylation by accumulating dicarboxylic acids, e.g. glutamate. We report here on a hepatic species of protein phosphatase-2A that activates acetyl-CoA carboxylase in the presence of physiological concentrations of glutamate or Mg2+ and...
متن کاملNeuronal Functions of Protein Phosphatase 2A
Reversible protein phosphorylation is a common and important form of protein posttranslational modification which determines the proteins’ activities, substrate specificity and inhibitions or degradations, depending on the specific amino acid residue, or combination of residues, being targeted. While protein phosphorylations by kinases have been well studied, the importance of protein dephospho...
متن کاملProtein phosphatase 2A dysfunction in Alzheimer’s disease
Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a large family of enzymes that account for the majority of brain Ser/Thr phosphatase activity. While PP2A enzymes collectively modulate most cellular processes, sophisticated regulatory mechanisms are ultimately responsible for ensuring isoform-specific substrate specificity. Of particular interest to the Alzheimer's disease (AD) field, alterations in PP2A regul...
متن کاملNew pathophysiological function of protein phosphatase 2A?
In this issue of the Journal, there is an interesting study by Larsen et al., which provides evidence that in pulmonary hypoxia a new mechanism might be operational that explains the deterioration of heart function in primary pulmonary hypertension. The authors chronically exposed mice to 10% oxygen to mimic hypoxia in patients. The authors had noted in previous studies that this degree of pulm...
