| Abstract | Sphingosine kinase 1 (SK1) is an important regulator of cellular signaling that has been implicated in a broad range of cellular processes. Cell exposure to a wide array of growth factors, cytokines, and other cell agonists can result in a rapid and transient increase in SK activity via an activating phosphorylation. We have previously identified extracellular signal-regulated kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) as the kinases responsible for the phosphorylation of human SK1 at Ser(225), but the corresponding phosphatase targeting this phosphorylation has remained undefined. Here, we provide data to support a role for protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in the deactivation of SK1 through dephosphorylation of phospho-Ser(225). The catalytic subunit of PP2A (PP2Ac) was found to interact with SK1 using both GST-pulldown and coimmunoprecipitation analyses. Coexpression of PP2Ac with SK1 resulted in reduced Ser(225) phosphorylation of SK1 in human embryonic kidney (HEK293) cells. In vitro phosphatase assays showed that PP2Ac dephosphorylated both recombinant SK1 and a phosphopeptide based on the phospho-Ser(225) region of SK1. Finally, both basal and tumor necrosis factor-alpha-stimulated cellular SK1 activity were regulated by molecular manipulation of PP2Ac activity. Thus, PP2A appears to function as an endogenous regulator of SK1 phosphorylation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
