Abstract
Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A) plays an essential role in many aspects of cellular physiology. The PP2A holoenzyme consists of a heterodimeric core enzyme, which comprises a scaffolding subunit and a catalytic subunit, and a variable regulatory subunit. Here we report the crystal structure of the heterotrimeric PP2A holoenzyme involving the regulatory subunit B'/B56/PR61. Surprisingly, the B'/PR61 subunit has a HEAT-like (huntingtin-elongation-A subunit-TOR-like) repeat structure, similar to that of the scaffolding subunit. The regulatory B'/B56/PR61 subunit simultaneously interacts with the catalytic subunit as well as the conserved ridge of the scaffolding subunit. The carboxyterminus of the catalytic subunit recognizes a surface groove at the interface between the B'/B56/PR61 subunit and the scaffolding subunit. Compared to the scaffolding subunit in the PP2A core enzyme, formation of the holoenzyme forces the scaffolding subunit to undergo pronounced conformational rearrangements. This structure reveals significant ramifications for understanding the function and regulation of PP2A.

Figure 1. Overall Structure of the Heterotrimeric PP2A Holoenzyme Bound to Microcystin-LR (MCLR)
(A) Overall structure of the PP2A holoenzyme bound to MCLR. The scaffolding (Aα), catalytic (Cα), and regulatory B′/PR61 (B′-γ1) subunits are shown in green, blue, and yellow, respectively. MCLR is shown in magenta. B′-γ1 interacts with both Aα and Cα through extensive interfaces. Cα interacts with Aα as described (Xing et al., 2006). Three views are shown here to reveal the essential features of the holoenzyme. Surprisingly, B′-γ1 adopts a structure that closely resembles that of the scaffolding subunit (discussed in detail later).
(B) A surface representation of the PP2A holoenzyme. Aα and B′-γ1 are shown in surface representation. Cα is shown in backbone worm to highlight the observation that the carboxyl terminus of Cα binds to a surface groove at the interface between Aα and B′-γ1. Figures 1A, 2A, 4A, and 4E were prepared using GRASP (Nicholls et al., 1991); all other structural figures were made using MOLSCRIPT (Kraulis, 1991).

Figure 4. Interactions among the Three Components of the PP2A Holoenzyme
(A) A surface potential representation of the PP2A holoenzyme. The electrostatic surface potential is shown for Aα and B′-γ1. Note the acidic environment at the interface between Aα and B′-γ1. The carboxyl terminus of Cα extends out into a negatively charged surface groove at the interface between Aα and B′-γ1. Two areas are circled. Area 1 involves a protein interface between Cα and B′-γ1. Area 2 centers on the recognition of the carboxyl terminus of Cα by Aα and B′-γ1.
(B) A stereo view of the atomic interactions between Cα and B′-γ1 in area 1. This interface involves the HEAT-like repeats 6–8 of B′-γ1 and the α5 helix region of Cα. Side chains are colored orange. This interface contains a number of hydrogen bonds, which are represented by red dashed lines.
(C) A stereo view of the recognition of the carboxyl terminus of Cα by Aα and B′-γ1 in area 2. This interface involves the HEAT-like repeats 5 and 6 of B′-γ1 and HEAT repeats 1 and 2 of Aα. Most residues from the carboxyl terminus of Cα participate in specific interactions. There is a good mixture of hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interactions at this interface.
(D) Additional interactions with Cα are provided by the extended loop within HEAT-like motif 2 of B′-γ1.
(E) A surface representation of the PP2A holoenzyme to highlight the binding mode of the regulatory B′/PR61 subunit. Note that B′-γ1 uses its convex surface to interact with the conserved ridge of Aα.
(F) A stereo view of the atomic interactions between Aα and B′-γ1. This interface is rich in van der Waals interactions and involves six HEAT repeats of Aα.
