PP2A inactivation by SET in AML. (A) PI3K can phosphorylate SET at serine 9 (S9), located in the nuclear localization signal. This phosphorylation translocates SET to the cytosol and impairs its return to the nucleus, increasing its ability to bind to the catalytic subunit of PP2A (PP2A-C), and inactivating PP2A (92, 93). Treatment with FTY720 disrupts SET–PP2A interaction, allowing PP2A activation (39). (B) SETBP1 binds directly to SET, stabilizing full-length SET and protecting it from protease cleavage. The complex SETBP1–SET binds PP2A through SET, inhibiting PP2A activity (50).
