Abstract

This project proposes to understand the mechanism by which a) PP1 cat is activated through allosteric site occupation, and b) how substrate specificity is modulated. c) To identify hydrolytically stable phosphopeptide substrate analogues to support structural studies of the substrate binding site d) To prepare tight-binding ligands for the allosteric site that modulate the substrate activity of the phosphopeptides and the inhibitory activity of the phosphopeptide analogues in a parallel manner. e) To begin to investigate the activation of the PPI cat-Inhibitor-1 complex by PP2A.
