FAMILY

    • CATEGORY enzyme , regulatory
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     intracellular

    text
  • predominantly localized in the nucleus and harbors a functional nuclear localization signal
    • basic FUNCTION
  • demethylating proteins that have been reversibly carboxymethylated
  • acting as a protein phosphatase inhibitor
  • acting as a serine esterase
  • stabilization of the inactive, nuclear PPP2CA pool is a major function of PPME1
  • PPME1-mediated inhibition of the protein phosphatase 2A promotes basal ERK pathway activity and is required for efficient growth factor response
  • its expression is one mechanism by which ERK pathway activity is maintained in cancer cells, suggesting an important functional role for PME-1 in the disease progression of astrocytic gliomas
  • regulation of protein phosphatase 2A methylation by LCMT1 and PPME1 plays a critical role in differentiation of neuroblastoma cells
