Protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) activity, which is compromised in Alzheimer disease brain, is regulated by two endogenous inhibitors, one of them being I(2)(PP2A), a 277 amino acid long protein also known as SET. Here we report that both the amino terminal fragment (I(2NTF); aa 1-175) and the carboxy terminal fragment (I(2CTF); aa 176-277) of I(2)(PP2A) inhibit PP2A by binding to its catalytic subunit PP2Ac and cause hyperphosphorylation of tau. The C-terminal acidic region in I(2CTF) and Val 92 in I(2NTF) are essential for their association with PP2Ac and inhibition of the phosphatase activity.
蛋白磷酸酶-2A(PP2A)活性在阿尔茨海默病大脑中受损,受两种内源性抑制剂调节,其中之一是 I(2)(PP2A),一种 277 个氨基酸长的蛋白质,也称为 SET。在这里,我们报告说,I(2)(PP2A)的氨基末端片段(I(2NTF);aa 1-175)和羧基末端片段(I(2CTF);aa 176-277)通过与其催化亚基 PP2Ac 结合来抑制 PP2A,并导致 tau 的过度磷酸化。I(2CTF)中的 C 末端酸性区域和 I(2NTF)中的 Val 92 对于它们与 PP2Ac 的结合和抑制磷酸酶活性是必需的。
