dc.description.abstractReversible protein phosphorylation is an important post translational modification that controls diverse signaling pathways including the eukaryotic cell cycle signaling. Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a highly conserved protein phosphatase that removes phosphate groups from serine/threonine residues on proteins. PP2A is a trimeric enzyme consisting of a catalytic or C subunit, a scaffolding or A subunit and a regulatory or B subunit. In humans, B56 is one of the four families of B subunits. PP2A-B56 is an important mitotic protein phosphatase that is essential for proper execution of several mitotic events such as alignment and segregation of sister chromatids. The primary objective of this study was to understand the mechanisms that controls interaction between PP2A-B56 and its mitotic interactors. This study shows that PP2A-B56 interacts with important mitotic regulators through a LS/TPI/V motif. The LS/TPI/V proteins are widespread in the human proteome and are conserved across eukaryotes. The LS/TPI/V proteins take part in multiple signaling pathways including the eukaryotic cell cycle. The interaction between PP2A-B56 and the LS/TPI/V proteins occur in an isoform dependent and phosphorylation dependent manner. Among the five isoforms of B56, B56 gamma 3 and B56 delta have a preference for binding to dephosphorylated LS/TPI/V peptides. The LS/TPI/V motif gets phosphorylated as the cell enters prophase and gets dephosphorylated at mitotic exit. This phosphorylation event is controlled by Aurora Kinase B. B56 delta has a preference for binding to LS/TPI/V proteins when the motif is dephosphorylated. This preference is contributed by the C terminal tail of B56 delta.en_US
