Histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C is a selective substrate for the assay of protein phosphatase 2A in the presence of phosphatase 1. 1988

A protein phosphatase assay, selective for protein phosphatase 2A, has been developed. Bovine histone H1 phosphorylated by protein kinase C and [gamma-32P]ATP, designated H1(C), was tested as the substrate for various preparations of protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. The phosphatase 2A preparations were 10-60-times more active with H1(C) as the substrate when compared to phosphorylase a. The phosphatase 1 enzymes showed very little dephosphorylation of the H1(C) substrate, the activity being less than 5% of the phosphorylase phosphatase activity. This preference and selectivity was demonstrated for purified phosphatase preparations in addition to fresh tissue extracts. The assay provides a rapid, simple assay for the routine analysis of phosphatase 2A in the presence of phosphatase 1, without the use of heat-stable inhibitor proteins.

D010762	Phosphorylase a	The active form of GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE that is derived from the phosphorylation of PHOSPHORYLASE B. Phosphorylase a is deactivated via hydrolysis of phosphoserine by PHOSPHORYLASE PHOSPHATASE to form PHOSPHORYLASE B.
D011493	Protein Kinase C	An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.

D054645	Protein Phosphatase 1	A eukayrotic protein serine-threonine phosphatase subtype that dephosphorylates a wide variety of cellular proteins. The enzyme is comprised of a catalytic subunit and regulatory subunit. Several isoforms of the protein phosphatase catalytic subunit exist due to the presence of multiple genes and the alternative splicing of their mRNAs. A large number of proteins have been shown to act as regulatory subunits for this enzyme. Many of the regulatory subunits have additional cellular functions.
