Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) is a family of mammalian serine/threonine phosphatases that is involved in the control of many cellular functions including those mediated by extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) signaling. While investigating the reversible antiproliferative effect of the dietary lectin, jacalin, which binds the Thomsen-Friedenreich antigen (galactose beta1-3 N-acetylgalactosamine alpha-), we have found that this lectin (30 microg/ml) induces rapid, transient, tyrosine phosphorylation of putative human HLA-DR-associated protein I (PHAPI, also known as the tumor suppressor pp32) in HT29 human colon cancer cells. This is accompanied by the release of PP2A from association with PHAPI, allowing increased phosphatase activity of PP2A (by 42 +/- 10% at 10 min) and consequent complete dephosphorylation of the ERK kinase, MEK1/2, by 10 min and of ERK1/2 by 60 min. PHAPI knockdown by RNA interference abolished the effects of jacalin on PP2A activation and MEK inhibition. Thus phosphorylation of PHAPI/pp32 is a critical regulatory step in PP2A activation and ERK signaling.
