Variable regulatory subunits of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) modulate activity, substrate selectivity and subcellular targeting of the enzyme. We have cloned a novel member of the B type regulatory subunit family, B delta, which is most highly related to B alpha. B delta shares with B alpha epitopes previously used to generate subunit-specific antibodies. Like B alpha, but unlike B beta and B gamma which are highly brain-enriched, B delta mRNA and protein expression in tissues is widespread. B delta is a cytosolic subunit of PP2A with a subcellular localization different from B alpha and may therefore target a pool of PP2A holoenzymes to specific substrates.
