Abstract excerpt
Strong evidence has indicated that protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a tumor suppressor, but a mouse model for testing the tumor suppressor activity was missing. The most abundant forms of trimeric PP2A holoenzyme consist of the scaffolding Aα subunit, one of several regulatory B subunits, and the catalytic Cα subunit. Aα mutations were discovered in a variety of human carcinomas. All carcinoma-associated mutant...
