General description

Calyculin A is derived from the marine sponge Discodermia calyx. It corresponds to a molecular weight of 1008 Da.

Application

Calyculin A from Discodermia calyx has been used:
  • as an inhibitor of serine-threonine protein phosphatase 2A
  • as an inhibitor of cyclin D1 phosphatase in human breast cancer cells
  • as an inhibitor of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and PP1 in mouse melanoma cell lines B16-F0 cells

Biochem/physiol Actions

Calyculin A from Discodermia calyx binds to the okadaic acid receptors. In smooth muscles, it activates calcium channel. Calyculin A regulates protein phosphorylation thereby regulating capacitation in sperm. It enhances phosphorylation of nuclear factor κ-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and apoptosis.
Inhibitor of protein phosphatases types 1 and 2A; marine toxin, potent tumor promotor.

Activation of K-Cl cotransport is associated with activation of membrane-bound serine/threonine protein phosphatases (S/T-PPases). We characterize red blood cell S/T-PPases and K-Cl cotransport activity regarding protein phosphatase inhibitors and response to changes in ionic strength and cell size. Protein phosphatase

Potential mechanisms of the reversible temperature-dependent immobilization of fowl sperm were investigated. At 30 °C, motility of demembranated fowl sperm was inhibited by adding 2 mM ethylene glycol-bis (2-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA), but restored immediately after the subsequent addition of 2
