The small t antigen (ST) of DNA tumor virus SV40 facilitates cellular, transformation by disrupting the functions of protein phosphatase 2A, (PP2A) through a poorly defined mechanism. The crystal structure of the, core domain of SV40 ST bound to the scaffolding subunit of human PP2A, reveals that the ST core domain has a novel zinc-binding fold and, interacts with the conserved ridge of HEAT repeats 3-6, which overlaps, with the binding site for the B' (also called PR61 or B56) regulatory, subunit. ST has a lower binding affinity than B' for the PP2A core enzyme., Consequently, ST does not efficiently displace B' from PP2A holoenzymes in, vitro. Notably, ST inhibits PP2A phosphatase activity through its, N-terminal J domain. These findings suggest that ST may function mainly by, inhibiting the phosphatase activity of the PP2A core enzyme, and to a, lesser extent by modulating assembly of the PP2A holoenzymes.
