Protein phosphatase 2, structural/regulatory subunit a, beta; ppp2r1b
Pp2aa-beta

DESCRIPTION

Serine/threonine protein phosphatase-2A (PP2A) is an important regulatory enzyme that downregulates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade (see 176948), relays signals for cell proliferation, and may be linked to carcinogenesis. The PP2A holoenzyme exists in several trimeric forms consisting of a 36-kD core catalytic subunit (PP2AC; see 176915), a 65-kD structural/regulatory component (PP2AA), and a variable regulatory subunit (PP2AB; see 604941) that confers distinct properties on the holoenzyme. Each subunit exists as multiple isoforms encoded by different genes, resulting in many forms of the PP2A trimer that differ in expression pattern and specificity. PPP2R1B encodes the beta isoform of the structural-regulatory A subunit, or PP2AA-beta. This subunit is necessary for interaction of the catalytic PP2AC and variable PP2AB subunits and is critical for phosphatase activity (Walter and Mumby, 1993; Wang et al., 1998).

CLONING

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at chromosome 11q22-q24 has been associated with lung, colon, breast, cervical, head and neck, and ovarian cancers, as well as melanoma (Arai et al., 1996). Introduction of a normal chromosome 11, or a derivative t(X;11) chromosome containing 11pter-q23, can reverse the tumorigenic potential of several types of cancer cells and Wilms tumor when introduced into nude mice. These studies suggest that 1 or more tumor suppressor genes are located centromeric to the t(X;11) breakpoint at chromosome 11q23. Because of a high frequency of LOH in lung cancer cells involving D11S1647 and D11S1987, Wang et al. (1998) systematically surveyed the region between these 2 markers for candidate tumor suppressor genes. Over 100 candidate genes and ESTs were identified from a radiation hybrid map of chromosome 11 and from the NCBI transcript map, including an EST corresponding to PPP2R1B.

GENE STRUCTURE

Baysal et al. (1998) determined that the PPP2R1B gene contains 15 exons and spans approximately 27 kb.

MAPPING

Wang et al. (1998) determined the precise physical location of the PPP2R1B gene by colocalizing it within P1-derived artificial chromosome (PAC) clones containing sequence tagged sites on chromosome 11q22-q23. They confirmed that the PPP2R1B gene is located in a region showing high frequency LOH.

GENE FUNCTION

Sablina et al. (2007) found that suppression of PP2A A-beta expression allowed immortalized human cell lines to achieve a tumorigenic state. Cancer-associated A-beta mutants failed to reverse this tumorigenic phenotype, indicating that the mutants functioned as null alleles. Cancer-derived A-beta mutants failed to form a complex with the small GTPase RALA (179550), whereas wildtype A-beta-containing complexes dephosphorylated RALA at ser183 and ser194, inactivating RALA and abolishing its transforming function. Sablina et al. (2007) concluded that PP2A A-beta is a tumor suppressor that transforms immortalized cells by regulating RALA function.

MOLECULAR GENETICS

Wang et al. (1998) identified somatic alterations in the PPP2R1B gene in 15% (5 in 32) of primary lung tumors, 6% (4 in 70) of lung tumor-derived cell lines, and 15% (2 in 13) of primary colon tumors. One deletion mutation generated a truncated PP2A-A-beta protein that was unable to bind to the catalytic subunit of the PP2A holoenzyme. The authors suggested that the PPP2R1B gene product may suppress tumor development through its role in cell cy ... More on the omim web site
