Protein phosphatase methylesterase 1 (PPME1)

The protein contains 386 amino acids for an estimated molecular weight of 42315 Da.

 

Demethylates proteins that have been reversibly carboxymethylated. Demethylates PPP2CB (in vitro) and PPP2CA. Binding to PPP2CA displaces the manganese ion and inactivates the enzyme. (updated: April 1, 2015)

DESCRIPTION

Protein phosphatase methylesterase-1 catalyzes the demethylation of the protein phosphatase-2A catalytic subunit (PPP2CA; 176915) (Ogris et al., 1999).

CLONING

Using immunoprecipitation and characterization of stable protein complexes formed with catalytically inactive PPP2CA mutants H59Q and H118Q, Ogris et al. (1999) identified an approximately 44-kD PPP2CA-associated protein and cloned the cDNA, designated PPME1, from HeLa cell mRNA by RT-PCR. The deduced 386-amino acid protein shares 40% and 26% sequence identity with the C. elegans and S. cerevisiae homologs, respectively. Human PPME1 contains a highly charged stretch of amino acids, and all 3 PPME1 homologs contain a consensus sequence for lipases that use an active site serine.

GENE FUNCTION

By immunoprecipitation analysis with wildtype and H59Q and H118Q mutant PPP2CA, Ogris et al. (1999) showed that PPME1 forms a stable complex with the catalytically inactive mutant subunits but not with the wildtype subunit. Expression of PPME1 in bacteria demonstrated that PPME1 has PPP2CA methylesterase activity that is inhibited by the PPP2CA inhibitor okadaic acid but not by the serine protease inhibitor PMSF. By coimmunoprecipitation experiments, Ogris et al. (1999) showed that the PPP2CA inhibitors okadaic acid, sodium fluoride, and sodium pyrophosphate decreased the association of PPME1 with the H59Q mutant.

MAPPING

The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the PPME1 gene to chromosome 11 (TMAP RH11842).

BIOCHEMICAL FEATURES

- Crystal Structure Xing et al. (2008) reported the crystal structure at 2.1-angstrom resolution of human PME1 by itself and in complex with a PP2A heterodimeric core enzyme, which consists of PPP2CA and PPP2R1A (605983). The structures revealed that PME1 directly binds to the active site of PP2A and that this interaction results in the activation of PME1 by rearranging its catalytic triad residues into an active conformation. This interaction also leads to inactivation of PP2A by evicting the manganese ions required for the phosphatase activity of PP2A. ... More on the omim web site
