PKA phosphorylates the B56δ (PPP2R5D) regulatory subunit of PP2A at Ser-566, which increases the overall phosphatase activity of the PP2A-B56δ/A/C heterotrimer in vitro and in vivo. The B56δ-containing PP2A complex dephosphorylates DARPP-32 at Thr-75, thereby mediating cAMP/PKA-dependent regulation of dopaminergic signaling in striatal neurons. |

PP2A/B56δ phosphatase complex dephosphorylates Cdc25 at T138 (Xenopus numbering), a site distinct from the inhibitory Ser287, thereby reducing Cdc25 affinity for 14-3-3 proteins and enabling 14-3-3 release to promote mitotic entry. DNA-responsive checkpoints activate PP2A/B56δ complexes, identifying B56δ as a central checkpoint effector. |

In Ppp2r5d knockout mice, tau becomes progressively hyperphosphorylated at pathological epitopes in restricted brain areas. The mechanism is indirect: PP2A-B56δ (PP2A-T61δ) dephosphorylates p35 (the CDK5 activator), and its absence leads to p35 hyperphosphorylation and degradation, thereby reducing CDK5 activity. Loss of CDK5 activity results in decreased phosphorylation of GSK3β at Ser-9, increasing GSK3β activity and causing tau hyperphosphorylation. |

De novo missense mutations in PPP2R5D within a conserved acidic loop render mutant B56δ deficient in binding the PP2A A and C subunits, uncoupling it from phosphatase activity. This dominant-negative effect results in hyperphosphorylation of the B56δ-regulated substrate GSK3β in cells overexpressing mutant subunits. |

B56δ is the specific PP2A regulatory subunit mediating dephosphorylation of Bcl-2 at Ser70. Peroxynitrite-mediated nitration of B56δ at Tyr289 inhibits recruitment of the PP2A catalytic core (A and C subunits) to the B56δ complex while preserving B56δ binding to phospho-Ser70-Bcl-2, thereby preventing Bcl-2 dephosphorylation and stabilizing its antiapoptotic activity. |

Protein kinase C phosphorylates a key regulatory site in B56δ, activating the B56δ-containing PP2A heterotrimer, which then dephosphorylates Ser40 of tyrosine hydroxylase. RNAi knockdown of B56δ in N27 cells increases dopamine synthesis, confirming that PP2A-B56δ-mediated TH dephosphorylation reduces TH activity. |

PKA phosphorylates PPP2R5D at Ser-53, Ser-68, Ser-81, and Ser-566 in vitro, but Ser-566 is the dominant in vivo phosphorylation site upon forskolin stimulation. Phosphorylation of PPP2R5D by PKA reduces the apparent Km of PP2A holoenzyme from 11.25 μM to 1.175 μM, increasing catalytic efficiency. Phosphorylation also decreases inhibitory Tyr-307 phosphorylation on the PP2A catalytic C subunit. |

β-Adrenergic receptor stimulation induces PKA-mediated phosphorylation of B56δ at Ser573 in adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes. A non-phosphorylatable S573A mutant B56δ fails to increase PP2A catalytic activity in response to isoprenaline, demonstrating that Ser573 phosphorylation is required for β-AR-stimulated PP2A activation in cardiomyocytes. |

PPM1G (a PPM-family phosphatase) forms a novel holoenzyme complex with B56δ (PPP2R5D). B56δ promotes relocalization of PPM1G from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.

Aphidicolin-induced DNA damage increases B56δ-Ser566 phosphorylation, activating PP2A-B56δ, which dephosphorylates eNOS-Ser116 and contributes to NO release in endothelial cells. Dominant-negative B56δ blocks both Ser116 dephosphorylation and NO production. |

Cryo-EM structures of the PP2A-B56δ holoenzyme reveal that long intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) at B56δ N- and C-termini fold against each other and the holoenzyme core, forming a closed latent conformation with dual autoinhibition of the phosphatase active site and the substrate-binding groove. This interface spans >190 Å, harbors activation phosphorylation sites and essentially all ID-associated mutation residues. ID mutations increase holoenzyme activity and alter phosphorylation rates; severe variants significantly increase mitotic duration and error rates. |

Quantum mechanical calculations on the PP2A(PPP2R5D)/phosphoserine system indicate that bidentate Arg89-substrate binding is critical for optimal catalytic function, yielding ΔH‡ = +15.5 kcal/mol vs +18.8 kcal/mol when Arg89 is engaged in a salt bridge with B56δ Glu198. The pathogenic E198K mutation replaces the acidic Glu198 with a positively charged Lys, disrupting this salt bridge and altering the catalytic mechanism. |

PPP2R5D/PP2A-B56δ interacts with liprin-α1 through a canonical short linear interaction motif (SLiM) in liprin-α1's N-terminal dimerization domain. Loss of this interaction (SLiM mutation or PPP2R5D KO) results in increased liprin-α1 phosphorylation at Ser763 and promotes liprin-α1 liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS). The E420K disease variant of PPP2R5D compromises suppression of liprin-α1 LLPS. |

PPP2R5D-PP2A holoenzyme inhibits liprin-α1 LLPS by dephosphorylating liprin-α1 at multiple Ser/Thr sites including Ser763. The phospho-mimetic S763E mutant is sufficient to drive liprin-α1 LLPS. The E420K PPP2R5D disease variant increases liprin-α1 Ser763 phosphorylation and promotes LLPS. The interaction also promotes liprin-α1/β1 heterodimerization, which opposes LLPS. |

Functional characterization of PPP2R5D missense variants shows that pathogenic variants cause impaired PP2A A/C-subunit binding, decreased SLiM-dependent substrate binding, or both. The most severe clinical phenotypes associate with variants that completely lose one of these binding properties while retaining the other, supporting a dominant-negative disease mechanism. The p.Glu198Lys variant shows the highest C-binding defect. |

Quantitative phosphoproteomics of CRISPR-edited E198K and E420K PPP2R5D variant HEK293 cells reveals hyperphosphorylation of RPS6 as a shared signaling alteration, mediated through converging mTORC1/p70S6K activation. E420K shows AKT-dependent mTORC1 activation while E198K shows AKT-independent ERK-dependent activation. Rapamycin and the S6K inhibitor LY2584702 suppress RPS6 hyperphosphorylation. |
