Abstract

Both F10 and BL6 sublines of B16 mouse melanoma cells are metastatic after intravenous injection, but only BL6 cells are metastatic after subcutaneous injection. Retrotransposon insertion was found to produce an N-terminally truncated form (Deltagamma1) of the B56gamma1 regulatory subunit isoform of protein phosphatase (PP) 2A in BL6 cells, but not in F10 cells. We found an interaction of paxillin with PP2A C and B56gamma subunits by co-immunoprecipitation. B56gamma1 co-localized with paxillin at focal adhesions, suggesting a role for this isoform in targeting PP2A to paxillin. In this regard, Deltagamma1 behaved similarly to B56gamma1. However, the Deltagamma1-containing PP2A heterotrimer was insufficient for the dephosphorylation of paxillin. Transfection with Deltagamma1 enhanced paxillin phosphorylation on serine residues and recruitment into focal adhesions, and cell spreading with an actin network. In addition, Deltagamma1 rendered F10 cells as highly metastatic as BL6 cells. These results suggest that mutations in PP2A regulatory subunits may cause malignant progression.

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.
