Tacrolimus (FK-506) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme called calcineurin.  Calcineurin is a protein phosphatase.  This is an enzyme that dephosphorylates (removes phosphate groups) from proteins.  When added to cells, tacrolimus can inhibit the dephosphorylation of a protein called NFAT, but it cannot prevent the dephosphorylation of a protein called CDK1.  What is the most likely explanation for this finding?  

A.  Calcineurin requires an additional cofactor to dephosphorylate NFAT B.  NFAT is a substrate of calcineurin, but CDK1 is not C.  Tacrolimus is a competitive inhibitor of calcineurin for NFAT and CDK11 D.  Tacrolimus changes the optimum pH for calcineurin Clarify Question What is the key concept addressed by the question?
