The deinhibitor protein: regulation by phosphorylation-dephosphorylation.

The deinhibitor protein, which protects the multisubstrate protein phosphatase from inhibition by inhibitor-1 and the modulator protein, stabilizes the enzyme in its active conformation preventing its conversion to the ATP,Mg-dependent enzyme form and controls the dephosphorylation of inhibitor-1, was shown to exist under active and inactive forms. It can be inactivated by the catalytic unit of the cyclic AMP-dependent protein kinase and reactivated by an inhibitor-1 phosphatase, also described as histone-H1 ("latent") stimulated protein phosphatase.
