ANKRD44 (ankyrin repeat domain-containing 44; PP6-ARS-B) is one of three alternative ankyrin-repeat subunits of protein phosphatase 6 (PP6), together with ANKRD28 and ANKRD52, which diverged early in vertebrates and are thought to have distinct functions. It associates with a SAPS-domain subunit such as PPP6R1, which in turn binds the PPP6C catalytic subunit, forming a heterotrimer that helps set PP6 substrate specificity. Like ANKRD28, but unlike ANKRD52, it is needed for PP6 function in mitosis. In a HER2-positive breast cancer line, its silencing activates NF-kB and confers partial trastuzumab resistance.

Depleting ANKRD44, like ANKRD28 but unlike ANKRD52, disrupts PP6 function in mitosis. Reason: [PMID:21187329 "Depletion of the ANKRD52 subunit had no effect on nuclear morphology, whereas ANKRD28 and ANKRD44 ankyrin repeat subunit depletion altered nuclear morphology"] [PMID:21187329 "The results presented here suggest that the ANKRD28 and 44 subunits are required for PP6 function in mitosis, whereas ANKRD52 is not."] The paralog ANKRD28 carries this term by IMP (PMID:35512830). The evidence here is phenotype-level (nuclear morphology after depletion), not a direct phosphatase activity assay with and without ANKRD44. ANKRD44 is a holoenzyme subunit, so the regulation is its own participation, not a downstream consequence. Supporting Evidence: PMID:21187329 Depletion of the ANKRD52 subunit had no effect on nuclear morphology, whereas ANKRD28 and ANKRD44 ankyrin repeat subunit depletion altered nuclear morphology PMID:21187329 The results presented here suggest that the ANKRD28 and 44 subunits are required for PP6 function in mitosis, whereas ANKRD52 is not. |

Experiment: Use paralog-specific knockouts of ANKRD28, ANKRD44 and ANKRD52 with phosphoproteomics to map the substrates each ankyrin subunit directs PP6 to.
