“…14 Similar to RACK1, we found that NDRG2, a scaffold protein, is able to bind PP2A, which results in PP2A dephosphorylation of a group of signaling proteins, such as PTEN, NIK, PRMT5 and HSP90 (Figure 1), which cannot directly bind to PP2A. 6,15,16 PTEN can be dephosphorylated by PP2A only through NDRG2-mediated binding to PTEN. 6 The enzymatic activity of PTEN as a phosphatase is regulated by its phosphorylation at the C-terminus (Ser380, Thr382, and Thr383, the STT cluster), and when PTEN is phosphorylated at the PTEN-STT cluster, it is uncoupled from the cell membrane and loses its enzyme activity.…”
