Helianthus annuus      PPP/PP4


※ PP4 family introduction

    PP4, a family of PPP which is ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotes, is composed of three subunits, including two regulatory subunits R1 and R2, a catalytic subunit. PP4 is highly conserved among eukaryotes and sequence identity among human, mouse and rabbit is about 99% (1), which suggests that PP4 is an important type of protein phosphatases. PP4 is localized in mitotic centrosomes and plays a critical role in centrosome maturation. In addition, PP4 is also involved in varieties of cellular signaling, such as NF-kB pathway, Jnk pathway and apoptotic signaling. What's more, PP4 has been reported to possess a nuclear function, for example, PP4 is essential for stalled replication forks stabilization and is involved in formation or maintenance of chiasmata (2).
