The membrane phosphatase was sensitive to inhibition by okadaic acid and sodium fluoride, characteristics suggestive of PP2A activity.

General serine-threonine phosphatase inhibitors such sodium fluoride, or ss-glycerophosphate and sodium pyrophosphate, or specific PP1 and PP2A inhibitors including microcystin-LR, protein phosphatase 2A inhibitor I (1) or protein phosphatase inhibitor 2 all abrogate H-Ras and K-Ras dependent Raf-1 activation in vitro.

J Biol Chem. 2004 Jun 18;279(25):26445-52. Epub 2004 Apr 9.


Likewise, treatment of cells with NaF (an inhibitor of protein phosphatases) allowed for phosphorylation of Ser-985, and a protein phosphatase responsible for dephosphorylation of Ser-985 was identified to be protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A).

In addition, phosphorylation of Ser526 was required for MKK6 phosphorylation in vitro, whereas dephosphorylation of Ser526 was mediated by protein phosphatase 2A and sensitive to okadaic acid and sodium fluoride.
In summary, Ser526 of MEKK3 is an autophosphorylation site within the T-loop that is regulated by PP2A and 14-3-3 proteins.

Tissues were processed in the presence of sodium fluoride and inorganic phosphate to inhibit the phosphatase and thereby prevent autodephosphorylation of the type 2A protein phosphatase (PP2A) during homogenization.

The Ca2+-independent portion of PKI was inactivated by either PP2A or PP2C, while the Ca2+-dependent portion of PKI became increasingly activated during storage, which we presume was mimicking the effect of an unidentified PP.
