Gene Description

PPP2R1A encodes the alpha isoform of the scaffolding A subunit (PR65-alpha) of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), the major serine/threonine phosphatase in eukaryotic cells. The protein comprises 15 tandem HEAT repeats forming an elongated horseshoe-shaped structure that bridges the catalytic C subunit (via HEAT repeats 11-15) and variable regulatory B subunits (via HEAT repeats 1-10), thereby assembling functionally diverse PP2A holoenzyme heterotrimers. PPP2R1A is the predominant A subunit isoform, accounting for approximately 90% of cellular PP2A scaffold. In addition to canonical trimeric PP2A holoenzymes, PPP2R1A participates in noncanonical PP2A assemblies including the INTAC complex (Integrator-PP2A) which regulates RNA polymerase II transcription, and the STRIPAK complex which integrates Hippo pathway signaling. PPP2R1A is not itself catalytic; its function is purely structural/scaffolding. Mutations are associated with endometrial cancer and Houge-Janssens syndrome 2 (neurodevelopmental disorder).

GO Term Evidence Action Reason
GO:0000159 protein phosphatase type 2A complex
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PPP2R1A is the core scaffolding subunit of the PP2A complex. Multiple crystal structures demonstrate it as an integral component of the PP2A heterotrimer (PMID:17055435, PMID:17174897). This is the defining function of this protein.
Reason: PPP2R1A is the major scaffolding A subunit of PP2A, forming the core dimer with the catalytic C subunit and recruiting regulatory B subunits. This annotation is directly supported by structural and biochemical evidence.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17055435
The core enzyme of PP2A comprises a 65 kDa scaffolding subunit and a 36 kDa catalytic subunit.
PMID:17174897
The PP2A holoenzyme consists of a heterodimeric core enzyme, which comprises a scaffolding subunit and a catalytic subunit, and a variable regulatory subunit.
GO:0005634 nucleus
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PPP2R1A localizes to the nucleus as part of multiple PP2A complexes, including the INTAC complex which functions on chromatin (PMID:33243860, PMID:34004147). UniProt annotation confirms nuclear localization with experimental evidence.
Reason: Nuclear localization is well-supported by multiple experimental studies showing PPP2R1A in the nucleus as part of INTAC and other PP2A complexes.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:33243860
we identified a complex containing Integrator and protein phosphatase 2A core enzyme (PP2A-AC), termed INTAC

CRTC3 interacts with B55 PP2A holoenzymes via a conserved PP2A-binding region
GO:0005737 cytoplasm
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PPP2R1A is a widely expressed scaffold protein present in the cytoplasm. UniProt annotation confirms cytoplasmic localization by similarity (UniProtKB:Q32PI5).
Reason: Cytoplasmic localization is expected and well-supported for the major PP2A scaffold. PP2A holoenzymes are found in both cytoplasm and nucleus.
GO:0005829 cytosol
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PPP2R1A is present in the cytosol as part of PP2A holoenzymes. Consistent with the cytoplasm annotation and supported by multiple Reactome pathway entries.
Reason: Cytosolic localization is well-established for PP2A holoenzymes containing PPP2R1A as scaffold subunit.
GO:0019888 protein phosphatase regulator activity
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
ACCEPT
Summary: PPP2R1A serves as the scaffolding subunit that organizes the PP2A holoenzyme, thereby regulating phosphatase activity by determining which B subunit (and therefore which substrates) are engaged. This is its core molecular function.
Reason: As the scaffold that assembles the PP2A holoenzyme, PPP2R1A directly regulates phosphatase activity by controlling holoenzyme composition and substrate access. This is an appropriate MF term for a non-catalytic regulatory subunit.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:17174897
The PP2A holoenzyme consists of a heterodimeric core enzyme, which comprises a scaffolding subunit and a catalytic subunit, and a variable regulatory subunit.
GO:0051225 spindle assembly
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PP2A is involved in mitotic processes including chromosome segregation and centromeric localization of Sgo1 (PMID:16580887). The role in spindle assembly is plausible through PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of mitotic regulators, and is supported by Reactome annotations linking PP2A to centrosome maturation and mitotic spindle organization.
Reason: While PP2A has roles in mitosis, spindle assembly is a downstream consequence of PP2A holoenzyme activity with specific B subunits, not a core function of PPP2R1A itself. The IBA annotation is reasonable given conservation but represents a non-core biological process for this scaffold subunit.
GO:0051754 meiotic sister chromatid cohesion, centromeric
IBA
GO_REF:0000033
KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PP2A-B56 complexes play a conserved role in protecting centromeric cohesion during meiosis. PMID:16580887 demonstrates PP2A's role at centromeres for chromosome segregation, though this study focused on mitosis. The meiotic role is inferred phylogenetically from yeast/fly data.
Reason: Meiotic centromeric cohesion is a conserved function of PP2A across eukaryotes, and the IBA inference is phylogenetically sound. However, this is a specialized meiosis-specific process rather than a core function of the PPP2R1A scaffold.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16580887
PP2A localizes to centromeres in a Bub1-dependent manner. The Sgo1-PP2A interaction is required for centromeric localization of Sgo1 and proper chromosome segregation in human cells.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: The Integrator complex mediates snRNA 3-prime end processing (PMID:16239144). PPP2R1A is part of the INTAC complex (Integrator-PP2A). However, snRNA processing is an Integrator function, and PP2A association may be primarily for transcription regulation rather than snRNA processing per se.
Reason: While PPP2R1A is part of INTAC, snRNA processing is primarily an Integrator endonuclease function. The PP2A component (PPP2R1A + PPP2CA) provides phosphatase activity for CTD dephosphorylation, which is distinct from snRNA cleavage. This is a non-core function of PPP2R1A.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16239144
We show that Integrator is recruited to the U1 and U2 snRNA genes and mediates the snRNAs' 3' end processing.

Summary: As part of the INTAC complex, PPP2R1A scaffolds PPP2CA which dephosphorylates the Pol II CTD and DSIF/SPT5, thereby preventing transcriptional elongation (PMID:38570683, PMID:34004147). This is a well-characterized INTAC function.
Reason: PPP2R1A is essential for INTAC complex assembly and the PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of Pol II CTD that regulates transcription elongation. This is a core function of PPP2R1A-containing INTAC.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:38570683
The Integrator complex can terminate RNA polymerase II (Pol II) in the promoter-proximal region of genes.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PP2A is a major regulator of numerous signaling pathways (PMID:11007961). PPP2R1A as scaffold enables diverse PP2A holoenzymes to regulate multiple signaling cascades.
Reason: Intracellular signal transduction is too broad and vague. While PP2A regulates many signaling pathways, this term does not capture the specific scaffolding role of PPP2R1A. More specific pathway annotations are preferred.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: Transferred from ortholog data. UniProt notes that PP2A-mediated AKT1 dephosphorylation is essential for regulatory T-cell homeostasis (by similarity). This is a downstream consequence of PP2A activity.
Reason: T cell homeostasis is a downstream pleiotropic consequence of PP2A activity in specific immune cell contexts, not a core function of the PPP2R1A scaffold.

Summary: PPP2R1A binds viral T antigens (SV40 small t, polyoma middle T) which displace regulatory B subunits. PMID:9847399 maps specific binding determinants on the A subunit.
Reason: T antigen binding is a well-characterized property of PPP2R1A. This is more informative than generic protein binding as it describes a specific molecular interaction relevant to viral oncogenesis.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9847399
some amino acids are involved in the binding of all types of B subunits, whereas others are specifically involved in the binding of one or two types of B subunits. T-antigen-binding specificity does not correlate with that of a particular type of B subunit.

KEEP AS NON CORE
Summary: PPP2R1A depletion causes chromosome missegregation. PP2A is required for centromeric Sgo1 localization and proper chromosome segregation (PMID:16580887).
Reason: While experimentally validated, chromosome segregation is a downstream consequence of PP2A centromeric activity with specific B subunits. It is not the core scaffolding function of PPP2R1A.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:16580887
Depletion of Plk1 by RNA interference (RNAi) restores centromeric localization of Sgo1 and prevents chromosome missegregation in cells depleted of PP2A_Aalpha.

MARK AS OVER ANNOTATED
Summary: PMID:11360189 examines PPP2R1A mutations in Wilms tumor context, noting PP2A importance in fetal kidney growth. No mutations found in PPP2R1A.
Reason: Regulation of growth is too vague and represents a broad downstream consequence of PP2A activity. The cited paper found NO PPP2R1A mutations in Wilms tumor, weakening the annotation. Growth regulation is a pleiotropic effect, not a specific function of PPP2R1A.

Summary: PPP2R1A is the scaffold that assembles PP2A holoenzyme complexes. The crystal structure at 2.3 A reveals how 15 HEAT repeats organize the assembly platform (PMID:9989501).
Reason: Protein-containing complex assembly is a core function of PPP2R1A as the scaffolding subunit that organizes PP2A holoenzyme formation.
Supporting Evidence:
PMID:9989501
The PR65/A subunit of protein phosphatase 2A serves as a scaffolding molecule to coordinate the assembly of the catalytic subunit and a variable regulatory B subunit, generating functionally diverse heterotrimers.

Core Functions

PPP2R1A is the scaffolding A subunit of PP2A that organizes the catalytic C subunit and diverse regulatory B subunits into functional holoenzymes, thereby regulating phosphatase activity and substrate specificity. The A subunit does not have catalytic activity itself but enables it by assembling the holoenzyme. As part of canonical PP2A trimers, it contributes to Ser/Thr phosphatase activity on diverse substrates including signaling kinases and transcription factors.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:17055435
    The core enzyme of PP2A comprises a 65 kDa scaffolding subunit and a 36 kDa catalytic subunit.
  • PMID:17174897
    The PP2A holoenzyme consists of a heterodimeric core enzyme, which comprises a scaffolding subunit and a catalytic subunit, and a variable regulatory subunit.
  • PMID:9989501
    The PR65/A subunit of protein phosphatase 2A serves as a scaffolding molecule to coordinate the assembly of the catalytic subunit and a variable regulatory B subunit, generating functionally diverse heterotrimers.

As part of the INTAC complex (Integrator-PP2A), PPP2R1A scaffolds PPP2CA which dephosphorylates the Pol II CTD at Ser2, Ser5, and Ser7, driving premature transcription termination. This represents a quality checkpoint function during transcription initiation, distinct from canonical PP2A holoenzyme activities.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:33243860
    we identified a complex containing Integrator and protein phosphatase 2A core enzyme (PP2A-AC), termed INTAC. The INTAC complex dephosphorylates the carboxy-terminal repeat domain of RNA polymerase II at serine-2, -5, and -7 and thus regulates transcription.
  • PMID:38570683
    we present three cryo-electron microscopy structures of the complete Integrator-PP2A complex in different functional states.

As part of the STRIPAK complex, PPP2R1A scaffolds PP2A phosphatase activity that dephosphorylates MST1/2 Hippo kinases, negatively regulating the Hippo signaling pathway. STRIPAK is a noncanonical PP2A assembly with striatin as the regulatory B subunit.

Supporting Evidence:
  • PMID:33633399
    The striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complex is a large, multisubunit protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) assembly that integrates diverse cellular signals in the Hippo pathway to regulate cell proliferation and survival.
  • PMID:18782753
    Here we define a novel large multiprotein assembly, referred to as the striatin-interacting phosphatase and kinase (STRIPAK) complex. STRIPAK contains the PP2A catalytic (PP2Ac) and scaffolding (PP2A A) subunits
