Abstract
Protein phosphatase (PP)‐2A, which regulates the phosphorylation of tau, is regulated by two endogenous inhibitor proteins, and , in mammalian tissues. Here, we report the cloning of and from human brain, and show that in PC12 cells and in or transfected NIH3T3 and human neural progenitor cells, is localized mostly in the cell cytoplasm and mostly in the nucleus. The recombinant and inhibit PP‐2A activity towards hyperphosphorylated tau in vitro; the dephosphorylation of the hyperphosphorylated tau at specific sites is selectively inhibited. Overexpression of as well as results in tau hyperphosphorylation and degeneration of PC 12 cells.Keywords
