PPP6C

This gene encodes the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase, a component of a signaling pathway regulating cell cycle progression. Splice variants encoding different protein isoforms exist. The pseudogene of this gene is located on chromosome X. [provided by RefSeq]

protein phosphatase 6, catalytic subunit

Catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 6 (PP6) (PubMed:17079228, PubMed:29053956, PubMed:32474700).
PP6 is a component of a signaling pathway regulating cell cycle progression in response to IL2 receptor stimulation (PubMed:10227379).
N-terminal domain restricts G1 to S phase progression in cancer cells, in part through control of cyclin D1 (PubMed:17568194).
During mitosis, regulates spindle positioning (PubMed:27335426).
Down-regulates MAP3K7 kinase activation of the IL1 signaling pathway by dephosphorylation of MAP3K7 (PubMed:17079228).
Participates also in the innate immune defense against viruses by desphosphorylating RIG-I/DDX58, an essential step that triggers RIG-I/DDX58-mediated signaling activation (PubMed:29053956).
Also regulates innate immunity by acting as a negative regulator of the cGAS-STING pathway: mediates dephosphorylation and inactivation of CGAS and STING1 (PubMed:32753499, PubMed:32474700).
CGAS dephosphorylation at 'Ser-435' impairs its ability to bind GTP, thereby inactivating it (PubMed:32474700).
