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.

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.

The research report should be a detailed narrative explaining the function, biological processes, and localization of the gene product. Citations should be given for all claims.

You should prioritize authoritative reviews and primary scientific literature when conducting research. You can supplement
this with annotations you find in gene/protein databases, but these can be outdated or inaccurate.

We are specifically interested in the primary function of the gene - for enzymes, what reaction is catalyzed, and what is the substrate specificity? For transporters, what is the substrate? For structural proteins or adapters, what is the broader structural role? For signaling molecules, what is the role in the pathway.

We are interested in where in or outside the cell the gene product carries out its function.

We are also interested in the signaling or biochemical pathways in which the gene functions. We are less interested in broad pleiotropic effects, except where these elucidate the precise role.

Include evidence where possible. We are interested in both experimental evidence as well as inference from structure, evolution, or bioinformatic analysis. Precise studies should be prioritized over high-throughput, where available.

Research Report: Functional Annotation of Human PPP2R1A (UniProt P30153)—PP2A Scaffold Subunit Aα (PR65α)

1. Target identity verification (gene/protein disambiguation)

PPP2R1A (UniProt P30153) encodes the serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) 65 kDa regulatory subunit A alpha isoform, also known as PR65α / PP2A-Aα, in Homo sapiens. The collected literature consistently describes PPP2R1A as the non-catalytic scaffold (“A”) subunit of PP2A, built from HEAT repeats that organize binding of PP2A catalytic (“C”) and regulatory (“B”) subunits, matching the UniProt description and domain expectations (HEAT/ARM-like solenoid scaffold) (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2, pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 20-25).

2. Key concepts and definitions (current understanding)

2.1 PP2A holoenzyme architecture and the role of PPP2R1A

PP2A is a major Ser/Thr phosphatase that typically functions as a heterotrimer consisting of:
- a scaffold A subunit (PPP2R1A/Aα or PPP2R1B/Aβ),
- a catalytic C subunit (PPP2CA or PPP2CB), and
- one of many regulatory B subunits that confer substrate specificity and subcellular targeting (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 15-20).

PPP2R1A’s primary molecular function is scaffolding/assembly: it binds the catalytic C subunit to form the AC core dimer and provides the binding platform for B subunits, which largely determine what the holoenzyme dephosphorylates and where it acts in the cell (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).

A schematic of PP2A holoenzyme modularity (AC core plus different B-subunits, including B56 isoforms) is shown in Peris et al. 2023 (Figure 1A) (peris2023regulationandrole media 44652bd9).

2.2 Structural domains: HEAT-repeat scaffold and interaction interfaces

PPP2R1A/PR65α is composed of 15 tandem HEAT repeats forming an extended curved solenoid scaffold (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 20-25). Multiple sources converge on the interaction topology:
- C-terminal HEAT repeats (≈11–15): major interface for catalytic C subunit binding (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).
- N-terminal HEAT repeats (≈1–10): primary interface for regulatory B subunit binding (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).

At the PP2A core interface, extensive noncovalent interactions stabilize the AC core; one structural description notes stabilization by “15 intermolecular hydrogen bonds and significant van der Waals contacts” between scaffold A and catalytic C (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 16-19). In the context of B56-family binding, HEAT repeats 2–8 are described as engaging B56 subunits, and the A–B interaction is characterized as relatively loose without the catalytic subunit present (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 16-19).

2.3 What PPP2R1A does not do (enzyme activity clarification)

PPP2R1A is not the catalytic phosphatase. The C subunit performs the chemical reaction (dephosphorylation of Ser/Thr residues). PPP2R1A’s role is to assemble and stabilize the catalytic machinery while enabling regulatory B subunits to impose substrate and localization constraints (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).

3. PP2A biogenesis and regulation relevant to PPP2R1A

3.1 Assembly intermediates and maturation factors

A substantial fraction of PP2A exists as AC core dimer; one review estimates ~one-third of PP2A species are A–C only (without a B subunit) (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5). Holoenzyme biogenesis involves multiple chaperones/enzymes and regulated C-tail modifications. In neurodevelopment-focused synthesis, assembly intermediates can include stabilizing proteins (e.g., alpha4, TIPRL1, PME-1) and factors promoting assembly of active holoenzymes such as LCMT1 and PTPA, described as indispensable for generating/assembling active PP2A holoenzymes (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5).

3.2 2024 structural advance: methylation-independent trimer assembly

A major recent development is the 2024 structural/biochemical reconstitution by Wachter et al. (JBC; April 2024; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jbc.2024.107268) demonstrating that PPP2R1A-containing trimers can assemble without detectable requirement for C-terminal methylation under their in vitro conditions.

Key quantitative points:
- Recombinant complexes from insect cells were only ~6–8% methylated at the PP2A C-terminal leucine by MS; after LCMT1 treatment methylation increased to ~30–40% (wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4).
- Nevertheless, methylated vs unmethylated Aα–B55α–Cα and Aα–B56ε–Cα complexes showed similar phosphatase activity, supporting that methylation was dispensable for both assembly and activity in these assays (wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4).
- The authors solved an X-ray crystal structure at 3.1 Å of the unmethylated Aα–B56ε–Cα trimer, reporting substantial interface areas (A–B ≈ 1384 Ų; B–C ≈ 1294 Ų) and strong agreement with an AlphaFold2-Multimer model (RMSD ~1.047 Å) (wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4).

Interpretation: while PP2A C-tail methylation has been widely considered to bias holoenzyme composition, the 2024 work provides direct structural evidence that canonical PPP2R1A-containing trimers can form spontaneously in vitro with minimal methylation and retain enzymatic function, refining current models of how PPP2R1A scaffolds holoenzymes (wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 1-2, wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4).

4. Cellular localization (where PPP2R1A acts)

PPP2R1A should be understood as a widely expressed scaffold whose effective localization is emergent from holoenzyme composition. Regulatory B subunits are repeatedly emphasized as key determinants of subcellular localization and substrate access for PP2A holoenzymes (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4). A neurodevelopmental review highlights that PPP2R1A (Aα) is expressed at substantially higher levels than Aβ in brain and increases during development, consistent with broad cellular roles in neuronal tissues (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5).

Direct high-resolution, PPP2R1A-specific compartment assignment is not provided in the extracted text segments; however, localization differences among PP2A holoenzymes are discussed in relation to subunit composition (e.g., isoform-dependent cytoplasmic/nuclear distributions for certain regulatory subunits) (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 16-19, verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5).

5. Biological processes and pathway involvement (mechanistic framing)

5.1 Pathway-level roles of PPP2R1A-containing PP2A holoenzymes

PPP2R1A-containing PP2A complexes are described as broad tumor-suppressive regulators affecting cell cycle and many signaling processes (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4). Pathway examples cited in the retrieved evidence include:
- PI3K/AKT signaling: PP2A can dephosphorylate/inactivate AKT, opposing pro-survival signaling; PPP2R1A mutations that disrupt holoenzyme formation can lead to constitutive AKT phosphorylation (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 25-29).
- MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin pathways: PP2A activity is described as capable of dampening MAPK and Wnt/β-catenin signaling outputs (pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 25-29).
- Cell cycle control: distinct B subunits (e.g., B55 vs B56 family members) are associated with different cell-cycle transition controls, consistent with the principle that PPP2R1A’s scaffold role enables variable specificity through B-subunit selection (pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 25-29, peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4).

5.2 Substrate specificity: driven by regulatory B subunits (with examples)

Because PPP2R1A is a scaffold, substrate specificity is primarily imposed by the regulatory B subunits rather than by PPP2R1A itself (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4). One neurodevelopment-focused synthesis notes that B55-family PP2A complexes show a preference for dephosphorylating Ser-Pro and Thr-Pro motifs and recognize basic stretches near the dephosphorylation site (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5). This is a key practical annotation point: PPP2R1A’s functional “specificity” is mostly indirect, via which B subunits can bind the scaffolded AC core.

6. Disease relevance and real-world applications

6.1 Cancer: recurrent PPP2R1A alterations and clinical genomics

PPP2R1A is recurrently altered in cancer, consistent with PP2A’s role as a tumor suppressor (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2). Reported mechanisms include mutations that weaken binding to B subunits (and sometimes C), shifting signaling outputs such as AKT phosphorylation (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).

Recent clinical statistic (2024): In 187 p53-abnormal (p53abn) endometrial cancers, PPP2R1A mutations occurred in 29% of cases in a study combining shallow whole-genome sequencing and targeted panel sequencing (Clinical Cancer Research; March 2024; https://doi.org/10.1158/1078-0432.ccr-23-3689) (jamieson2024targetedandshallow pages 1-2). The same study frames p53abn endometrial cancers as highly aggressive and reports that the integrated approach identified potential therapeutic opportunities in 75% of patients (jamieson2024targetedandshallow pages 1-2).

Additional cancer statistics/mechanisms summarized in the extracted evidence include:
- PPP2R1A mutation frequency reported as up to 43.2% in uterine/type II serous endometrial cancer in a structural review excerpt (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16).
- PPP2R1A levels reported as reduced ~10-fold in ~43% of human gliomas in the same excerpt (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16).

Real-world implementation: These cohort-level mutation frequencies support use of PPP2R1A status in molecular profiling and stratification of tumors (e.g., endometrial cancer subtyping) and motivate therapies that aim to restore PP2A tumor-suppressive function, either by reactivating PP2A activity or by correcting disrupted holoenzyme assembly dynamics (ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2, jamieson2024targetedandshallow pages 1-2).

6.2 Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) / intellectual disability

An authoritative review focused on PP2A mutations in brain and neurologic disease highlights PPP2R1A among PP2A genes with mutations causally involved in neurodevelopmental disorders and intellectual disability, emphasizing that altered holoenzyme assembly and specificity are key mechanistic themes (Biochemical Society Transactions; July 2021; https://doi.org/10.1042/BST20201313) (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5).

While the extracted text does not enumerate specific PPP2R1A patient variants, it supports the expert framing that perturbations of PPP2R1A-dependent PP2A assembly can affect brain development and neurologic function (verbinnen2021proteinphosphatase2a pages 1-5).

7. Expert synthesis and authoritative interpretation

7.1 Functional annotation statement (high-confidence)

PPP2R1A (PP2A-Aα/PR65α) is a HEAT-repeat scaffold that builds the PP2A catalytic platform by binding PP2Ac to form the AC core and recruiting diverse regulatory B subunits that specify substrates and subcellular targeting. This statement is directly supported across multiple reviews and structural descriptions (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2, pavan2016designsynthesisand pages 20-25).

7.2 Why PPP2R1A is frequently disease-relevant

Because PPP2R1A controls which B subunits can assemble and stabilize a functional PP2A holoenzyme, PPP2R1A variants can act as “assembly lesions”: they may selectively disrupt certain PP2A holoenzymes (e.g., B56-associated complexes), thereby biasing phosphorylation states of key signaling proteins (e.g., AKT) without eliminating all PP2A function (thapa2021structuralinsightof pages 11-16, ramaswamy2015therapeuticreactivationof pages 1-2).

7.3 2023–2024 shift in mechanistic understanding

Peris et al. (2023; BBA Reviews on Cancer; September 2023; https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbcan.2023.188953) emphasizes the centrality of scaffold-mediated assembly and how post-translational regulation of the catalytic subunit tail biases B-subunit choice (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4). Wachter et al. (2024) adds a key nuance: canonical PPP2R1A trimers can assemble spontaneously in an unmethylated state in vitro, and AlphaFold2-Multimer can closely recapitulate a PPP2R1A-containing trimer interface at near-atomic accuracy (wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4). Together, these sources support a modern view that PPP2R1A scaffolding is robust, and that regulatory layers (including methylation) may be more about tuning holoenzyme repertoires in cells than being an absolute requirement for assembly (peris2023regulationandrole pages 2-4, wachter2024structuralcharacterizationof pages 2-4).

PPP2R1A Research Notes

Gene Identity

  • Gene: PPP2R1A (HGNC:9302)
  • UniProt: P30153
  • Protein: Serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A 65 kDa regulatory subunit A alpha isoform (PR65-alpha, PP2A-Aalpha)
  • Family: Phosphatase 2A regulatory subunit A family

Core Function Summary

PPP2R1A encodes the major scaffolding (A-alpha) subunit of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A). The protein contains 15 tandem HEAT repeats forming an elongated horseshoe-shaped structure PMID:9989501.

The primary molecular function is scaffolding: the C-terminal HEAT repeats (11-15) bind the catalytic C subunit (PPP2CA/PPP2CB), while the N-terminal repeats (1-10) bind regulatory B subunits PMID:17055435. This generates the PP2A holoenzyme heterotrimer.

PPP2R1A is NOT the catalytic phosphatase -- PPP2CA/PPP2CB perform the actual dephosphorylation. PPP2R1A is the structural scaffold that assembles the holoenzyme.

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).

      and is supported by Reactome annotations linking PP2A to centrosome maturation
      and mitotic spindle organization.
    action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
    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.

      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.
    action: KEEP_AS_NON_CORE
    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.

      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.
    action: ACCEPT
    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.

        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

    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.

    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.

      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.
