“…Changes in phosphorylation of htt occur within minutes after NMDA stimulation (data not shown), and this is far more likely a direct consequence of phosphatase activation. In fact, htt has recently been identified as a substrate for protein phosphatase 2B (PP2B/ calcineurin) (Luo et al, 2005;Pardo et al, 2006), and dephosphorylation of P-Akt-S473 (Sutton and Chandler, 2002), P-GSK3-S9 (Szatmari et al, 2005), and P-CREB-S133 (Sala et al, 2000;Kopnisky et al, 2003) during NMDA-induced excitotoxicity is the result of PP1 activity.…”
