Calcineurin (CN) is a Ca(2+)/calmodulin-dependent phosphatase, which consists of a catalytic A-subunit (CnA) and a regulatory B-subunit (CnB). Endogenous CnA and CnB have a strong corelationship in cancer cell lines. Through the introduction of CnB and its mutants in cells, we show that CnB does not increase the expression of CnA but protects it from degradation. CnB M118 is necessary for tight binding to CnA. Point mutations of CnB M118 also do not increase the expression of CnA but protect it from degradation. Furthermore, CnB M118K fails to enhance the activities of NF-AT and p53 induced by CnA in HeLa-s cells. Mutations in CnB M118 may prove to be a valuable marker in the diagnostics of some important illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease. Crown Copyright (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Inc.
