Abstract

We demonstrated previously that PP2A exists in many cell types as two abundant forms: (1) holoenzyme composed of two regulatory subunits, A and B, and a catalytic subunit C; and (2) core enzyme consisting of the A and C subunits. These two forms have different substrate specificities. Since published data suggested that HIV-1 transcription may be regulated by a cellular protein phosphatase, it was of interest to determine whether changing the ratio between PP2A core and holoenzyme affects HIV-1 gene expression. This question was addressed by expression in COS cells of an N-terminal mutant of the A subunit, A delta 5, which binds the C but not the B subunit. This resulted in an increase in the amount of core enzyme and a decrease in the amount of holoenzyme concomitant with the expected change in phosphatase activity. Tat-stimulated transcription from the HIV-1 LTR was inhibited 5-fold by mutant A delta 5, whereas mRNA synthesis directed by the actin promoter was not affected. Furthermore, virus production in COS, HeLa, and Jurkat T cells was inhibited 45-, 5-, and 3-fold, respectively, by mutant A delta 5. These results demonstrate that the balance between PP2A holoenzyme and core enzyme is important for HIV-1 gene expression and virus production.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The AΔ5 mutant cannot bind any B subunit class and would therefore act as a dominant-negative mutant toward several different PP2A trimers.

    “The AΔ5 mutant is incapable of binding any B subunit class [66] and would therefore behave as a dominantnegative mutant towards several different PP2A trimers.”
  • The Aα Δ5 variant, found in human breast carcinoma and lacking HEAT-repeat 5, no longer binds any B subunit.

    “The Aα Δ5 variant, found in human breast carcinoma [104] and lacking HEAT-repeat 5, no longer bound any B subunit [66].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
