Homo sapiens (Human) protein phosphatase PP2A methylesterase-1 (EC 3.1.1.-) (pme-1)
PP2A dimethyl-esterase (PME-1). PME-1 Catalyzes the demethylation of protein phosphatases 2A (PP2A) and PP4 catalytic subunits to alter the composition of holoenzymes. Elevated PME-1 protein levels are observed in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, suggesting the involvement of dysregulation of PP2A\/PP4 methylation. However, PME-1 also forms stable complexes with the catalytic subunit of PP2A to interfere with phosphatase activity. The loss of methylesterase activity due to the S156A mutation resulted in systemic apoptosis characterized by brain atrophy: the layers of the cerebellum collapsed with fewer Purkinje cells and more microglia. M335D mutant pups did not appear deformed and had intact brains but died about two days after birth with a demonstrated loss of olfaction and apoptosis in the olfactory epithelium (Ikeda et al. <\/A>)
