Abstract

Protein phosphatase 2A is the principal carboxyl methylated protein in cytoplasmic extracts derived from Xenopus eggs arrested in interphase. Levels of methylation approach stoichiometric values after 2 hr of incubation at 22°C. Rates of PP2A methylation increase by over 50% upon addition of cAMP. Methylation is inhibited by okadaic acid at concentrations that inhibit PP2A phosphatase activity.
