High impact information on I-2

  • Here we show by expression of cDNA in bacteria, that PPY is a protein serine phosphatase and that its biochemical properties are distinct from PP1 in both substrate specificity and regulation by the thermostable inhibitory proteins inhibitor 1 and inhibitor 2 [1].
  • I-4 inhibited activity of the catalytic subunit of PP1 (PP1C), specifically with an IC(50) of 0.2 nM, more potently than I-2 with an IC(50) of 2 nM [2].
  • Phosphatase inhibitor-2 (I-2) is a mammalian phosphoprotein that binds to the catalytic subunit of type 1 serine/threonine phosphoprotein phosphatase (PP1c) and inhibits its activity in vitro [3].
  • Inhibitor-2 partially purified from Drosophila had an identical molecular mass to its mammalian counterpart, and recombined with mammalian protein phosphatase-1 to form a hybrid protein phosphatase-1I [4].
 

Biological context of I-2

  • The sequence of I-2Dm is 35% identical with that of I-2, whereas the catalytic subunits themselves are >85% identical in flies and humans; however, we show that many biochemical properties of I-2 are conserved [3].
