Activity regulation: Activated by Ca(2+)-bound calmodulin following an increase in intracellular Ca(2+). At low Ca(2+) concentrations, the catalytic subunit (also known as calcineurin A) is inactive and is bound to the regulatory subunit (also known as calcineurin B) in which only two high-affinity binding sites are occupied by Ca(2+). In response to elevated calcium levels, the occupancy of the low-affinity sites on calcineurin B by Ca(2+) causes a conformational change of the C-terminal regulatory domain of calcineurin A, resulting in the exposure of the calmodulin-binding domain and in the partial activation of calcineurin A. The subsequent binding of Ca(2+)-bound calmodulin leads to the displacement of the autoinhibitory domain from the active site and possibly of the autoinhibitory segment from the substrate binding site which fully activates calcineurin A. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154138, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26794871}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.69 uM for NFATC1 {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154138}; KM=0.7 uM for DARPP32 {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154138};
Subunit: Forms a complex composed of a calmodulin-dependent catalytic subunit (also known as calcineurin A) and a regulatory Ca(2+)-binding subunit (also known as calcineurin B). There are three catalytic subunits, each encoded by a separate gene (PPP3CA, PPP3CB, and PPP3CC) and two regulatory subunits which are also encoded by separate genes (PPP3R1 and PPP3R2). In response to an increase in Ca(2+) intracellular levels, forms a complex composed of PPP3CB/calcineurin A, calcineurin B and calmodulin. Interacts (via calcineurin B binding domain) with regulatory subunit PPP3R1/calcineurin B. Interacts (via calmodulin- binding domain) with calmodulin; the interaction depends on calmodulin binding to Ca(2+). Interacts with SLC12A1 (By similarity). Interacts with SORL1 (By similarity). Interacts with UNC119 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P20651, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P48453, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26794871}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154138}.
Domain: The poly-Pro domain may confer substrate specificity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19154138}.
Domain: The autoinhibitory domain prevents access to the catalytic site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26794871}.
Domain: The autoinhibitory segment prevents access to the substrate binding site. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26794871}.
Domain: Possible isomerization of Pro-318 within the SAPNY motif triggers a conformation switch which affects the organization and thus accessibility of the active site and the substrate binding region (PxIxIF motif). The trans- to cis-transition may favor calcineurin A activation and substrate binding. The reverse cis- to trans-transition may be enhanced by peptidyl-prolyl isomerases such as PPIA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q08209}.
Miscellaneous: Unlike for protein substrates, PPP3CB activity towards synthetic phosphatase substrate p-nitrophenyl phosphate (pNPP) is increased in presence of the immunosuppressant complex FKBP12-FK506. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26794871}.
Similarity: Belongs to the PPP phosphatase family. PP-2B subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
