ABSTRACT

Fostriecin, an antitumor antibiotic produced by Streptomyces pulveraceus, is a strong inhibitor of type 2A (PP2A; IC50 3.2 nM) and a weak inhibitor of type 1 (PP1; IC50 131 μM) serine/threonine protein phosphatases. Fostriecin has no apparent effect on the activity of PP2B, and dose‐inhibition studies conducted with whole cell homogenates indicate that fostriecin also inhibits the native forms of PP1 and PP2A. Studies with recombinant PP1/PP2A chimeras indicate that okadaic acid and fostriecin have different binding sites.
