PPP1R3F activators are involved in the modulation of its activity through the influence of intracellular signaling molecules that undergo changes in concentration, subsequently affecting the phosphorylation state of PPP1R3F. These activators function by inducing an increase in cyclic nucleotides, such as cAMP and cGMP, within the cell. The elevation of cAMP is primarily achieved through the direct activation of adenylyl cyclase or the inhibition of phosphodiesterases, which are enzymes responsible for cyclic nucleotide degradation. The resulting higher levels of cAMP activate protein kinase A (PKA), a kinase that can phosphorylate and regulate the activity of various proteins, including PPP1R3F. PKA-mediated phosphorylation of PPP1R3F enhances its regulatory role in glycogen metabolism, directly increasing its functional activity. Similarly, increases in cGMP levels, achieved by inhibiting specific phosphodiesterases, activate protein kinase G (PKG), which can also target PPP1R3F for phosphorylation, thereby modulating its activity.
Aside from the cyclic nucleotide route, some activators exert their influence by targeting other phosphatases that normally decrease the phosphorylation level of proteins. By inhibiting these phosphatases, such as PP1 and PP2A, the activators can indirectly lead to a net increase in protein phosphorylation, including that of PPP1R3F. This mechanism allows for a sustained activation of PPP1R3F by maintaining its phosphorylated state, which is crucial for its role in glycogen synthesis and storage. The phosphorylated form of PPP1R3F is more effective in binding to glycogen and targeting glycogen synthase, the key enzyme in the glycogen biosynthesis pathway.
