Carboxyl methylation of protein phosphatase 2A from Xenopus eggs is stimulated by cAMP and inhibited by okadaic acid.

Floer M , Stock J .


???displayArticle.abstract???
Protein phosphatase 2A is the principal carboxyl methylated protein in cytoplasmic extracts derived from Xenopus eggs arrested in interphase. Levels of methylation approach stoichiometric values after 2 hr of incubation at 22 degrees C. Rates of PP2A methylation increase by over 50% upon addition of cAMP. Methylation is inhibited by okadaic acid at concentrations that inhibit PP2A phosphatase activity.
