Two functional Ca2+-binding EF-hand motifs (EF1 and EF2) were identified in human PR72/B''. Ca2+ binding induces a conformational change dependent on motif integrity. EF2 integrity is required for structural A/PR65 subunit interaction and proper nuclear targeting of PR72, whereas EF1 mediates Ca2+-dependent effects on PP2A(T72) catalytic activity in vitro and is partially required for PR72's ability to alter cell cycle progression upon forced expression. |

The PR72 regulatory subunit directs PP2A to mediate Ca2+-dependent dephosphorylation of DARPP-32 at Thr-75 in striatal neurons. EF-hand 1 of PR72 is necessary for Ca2+-dependent regulation of PP2A activity both in vitro and in vivo. The PR72-containing PP2A heterotrimer is also required for glutamate acting at AMPA and NMDA receptors to regulate Thr-75 dephosphorylation. |

PR72 physically and functionally interacts with Naked cuticle (Nkd) and acts as a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling cascade. The inhibitory effect of Naked cuticle on Wnt signaling requires PR72, both in mammalian cell culture and in Xenopus embryos. PR72 is also required for regulation of cell morphogenetic movements during body axis formation. |

PR130, which shares the C-terminus with PR72 but has a distinct N-terminus, also physically interacts with Naked cuticle but acts as an activator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway (opposite to PR72). PR130 restricts Naked cuticle's ability to function as a Wnt inhibitor, modulating Wnt signal transduction through differential expression of the two PPP2R3A transcripts. |

PR72/B''alpha2 and PR130/B''alpha1 are specifically cleaved by the Ca2+-dependent protease m-calpain into a 45–48 kDa proteolysis-resistant fragment ('PR45'). This limited proteolysis depends on EF-hand integrity, weakens PR72-core enzyme interaction, activates basal PP2A(T72) phosphatase activity, and dramatically increases sensitivity to polycation activation. PR45 generation was also observed in staurosporine-induced apoptotic MCF7 cells in a calpain-dependent manner. |

PR130/B''alpha1 forms a constitutive complex with SHIP2 and a transient EGF-stimulated complex with EGFR in mammalian cell lines. PR130 and SHIP2 co-localize and both translocate to the cell membrane upon EGF stimulation. RNAi-mediated knockdown of PR130 increases EGF-induced proteasome-dependent EGFR degradation and increases EGFR interaction with E3 ligase c-Cbl, leading to faster inactivation of downstream AKT and ERK/MAPK signaling; these effects are rescued by RNAi-resistant PR130. |

PR130/B''alpha1 binds the LIM domains of lipoma-preferred partner (LPP) through a conserved Zn2+-finger-like motif in the differentially spliced N-terminus of PR130. Isolated LPP-associated PP2A complexes are catalytically active. PR130 co-localizes with LPP at focal contacts but is excluded from mature focal adhesions. An LPP-PR130 fusion that cannot release from LPP (by deletion of the PP2A/C-binding domain of PR130) only localizes to focal adhesions, suggesting the interaction is dynamic. siRNA knockdown of PR130 increases cell adhesion to collagen I and decreases migration; these phenotypes cannot be rescued by a PR130 mutant unable to bind LPP. |

Deletion of pr130 in zebrafish (CRISPR/Cas9) causes cardiac looping defects, decreased fractional area and fractional shortening, reduced cardiomyocyte number, disrupted sarcomere ultrastructure (blurred Z- and M-lines, narrowed I- and A-bands), and increased cardiomyocyte apoptosis, establishing that pr130 is required for normal myocardium formation and efficient cardiac contractile function. |

HDAC1 and HDAC2 suppress expression of PPP2R3A/PR130; elevated PR130 in turn promotes dephosphorylation of ATM by PP2A. Genetic elimination of PR130 slows G1/S phase transition, increases phospho-CHK1, RPA foci, and DNA damage upon replicative stress, and renders cells susceptible to HDAC inhibitor-induced mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis, with reduced RAD51-dependent homologous recombination. |

In an osteoprogenitor Sfrp1-deletion mouse model, PP2A-PR72/130 regulates phosphorylation of the transcriptional co-activator p300; pharmacological activation of PP2A-PR72/130 with IQ-1 reduces the β-catenin/phospho-p300 nuclear association and restores hematopoietic stem cell repopulating activity, placing PP2A-PR72/130 upstream of the β-catenin/p300 axis in HSC maintenance. |

Genetic elimination of PR130 sensitizes murine and human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cells to PP2A inhibitor phendione-induced apoptosis and cytotoxic protein aggregate formation independently of p53. PP2A-PR130 complex activity prevents protein aggregation in tumor cells; phendione promotes proteasomal degradation of PR130, and HSP70 upregulation partially compensates for PP2A-PR130 loss. |

PR130 (PPP2R3A) restricts replication of HSV-1 in epithelial and neuronal cells; HSV-1 infection in turn decreases PR130 levels. PR130 controls expression and phosphorylation of the CDK inhibitor p21 (CDKN1A) at Ser-130 (catalyzed by CDK2). PR130 depletion enhances ATM signaling upon HSV-1 infection and creates a dependency of HSV-1 replication on ATM activity. Inhibition of USP7 stabilizes the p53-p21 axis and reduces HSV-1 viral titers. |
