Abstract

Members of the B'/B56/PR61 family regulatory subunits of PP2A determine the subcellular localization, substrate specificity, and catalytic activity of PP2A in a wide range of biological processes. Here, we summarize the structure and intracellular localization of B56-containing PP2As and review functions of B56-containing PP2As in several major developmental/cancer signaling pathways.
