The most fun part of this study is to find out that a broken "beta-propeller" structure entangles Ppp2r2c at the AIS (Thanks, AlphaFold). There is a lot more work to be done to better understand the function of this enigmatic subunit - please stay tuned! Image Credit: generated by ChatGPT.
@bcmneurosci.bsky.social First paper from my new lab here at BCM Neuroscience! 😀

The existence of specialized phosphatases in regulating the AIS was unclear. In this initial report, we show that a PP2A subunit is enriched at the AIS and contributes to its local phosphoregulation. Fun collaboration with Dr. Matthew Rasband's lab, and thanks to all authors for their contribution!

Phosphorylation at the AIS is back! Nice work from @yudonggao.bsky.social and Matt Rasband on the presence and role of the PP2A phosphatase subunit Ppp2r2c using HiUGE tagging www.nature.com/articles/s41...
