Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 65 kDa regulatory subunit A alpha isoform is an enzyme
Enzyme
Enzymes are proteins that catalyze chemical reactions. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process, called substrates, are converted into different molecules, called products. Almost all chemical reactions in a biological cell need enzymes in order to occur at rates...

 that in humans is encoded by the PPP2R1A gene
Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

. In the plant Arabidopsis thaliana a similar enzyme is encoded by the RCN1 gene (At1g25490).

Function

This gene encodes a constant regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 2
Protein Phosphatase 2
Protein phosphatase 2 , also known as PP2A, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the PPP2CA gene. The PP2A heterotrimeric protein phosphatase, is a ubiquitous and conserved Serine/Threonine phosphatase with broad substrate specificity and diverse cellular functions...

. Protein phosphatase 2 is one of the four major Ser/Thr phosphatases, and it is implicated in the negative control of cell growth and division. It consists of a common heteromeric core enzyme, which is composed of a catalytic subunit and a constant regulatory subunit, that associates with a variety of regulatory subunits. The constant regulatory subunit A serves as a scaffolding molecule to coordinate the assembly of the catalytic subunit and a variable regulatory B subunit. This gene encodes an alpha isoform of the constant regulatory subunit A.

Interactions

PPP2R1A has been shown to interact
Protein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...

Arabidopsis RCN1

RCN1 At1g25490 is one of three genes in Arabidopsis encoding Phosphoprotein Phosphatase 2A Regulatory Subunit A (PP2Aa). The association of different b subunits with a PP2Aa-PP2ac dimer is believed to determine substrate specificity.
