Van Hoof An inactive protein phosphatase 2A population is associated with methylesterase and can be re-activated by the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activator Biochem J 380 2004 111 119 An inactive PP2A population was found associated with PME-1 throughout the purification process. This inactive form could be activated by PTPA, a protein that was previously identified by its potential to activate the phosphotyrosyl phosphatase activity of PP2A, and that is shown here to activate the Ser/Thr phosphatase activity of this 'special' inactive form of PP2A. If this mechanism can be proven in vivo, it might have far reaching consequences for our understanding of the regulation of PP2A.

Hahn Identification of specific PP2A complexes involved in human cell transformation Cancer Cell 5 2004 127 136 Following up their previous work [48], the authors tried to find conditions in which ST can be replaced in the experimental model to transform human cell lines with a minimal combination of genes. They found that the effects of suppression of PR61γ/B′ were very similar to the effects of ST in this model. This was unexpected because it was previously thought that ST was only able to expel PR55/B, and not PR61/B′, from their trimeric holoenzyme forms.

The authors dissect how a well-equilibrated balance of anti-angiogenic (trombospondin-1) and pro-angiogenic (VEGF) factors is obtained by a novel described effector-pathway of Ras that leads to activation of Myc through phosphorylation (PI3K, Rho, ROCK) and repression of trombospondin-1.

Hahn Human mammary epithelial cell transformation through the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase Cancer Cell 3 2003 483 495 ST activates the PI3K pathway, and constitutively active PI3K signaling can substitute for ST in transformation. Using constitutively active versions of Akt1 and Rac1, it is shown that these downstream pathways of PI3K synergize to achieve anchorage-independent growth. At lower levels of c-myc expression, activated PI3K also replaces ST in anchorage independent growth and tumorigenicity of cells containing oncogenic ras and LT. However, elevated c-myc expression could not replace oncogenic ras for tumorigenesis.
