Abstract
Regulation of the sarco(endo)plasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA 2a) depends on the phosphorylation state of phospholamban (PLB). When PLB is phosphorylated, its inhibitory effect towards SERCA 2a is relieved, leading to an enhanced myocardial performance. This process is reversed by a sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)-associated type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) composed of a catalytic subunit PP1C and a regulatory subunit GM. Human GM and PLB have been produced in an in vitro transcription/translation system and used for co-immunoprecipitation and biosensor experiments. The detected interaction between the two partners suggests that cardiac PPI is targeted to PLB via GM and we believe that this process occurs with the identified transmembrane domains of the two proteins. Thus, the interaction between PLB and GM may represent a specific way to modulate the SR function in human cardiac muscle.

Abstract
Although the general pathways of glycogen synthesis and glycogenolysis are identical in all tissues, the enzymes involved are uniquely adapted to the specific role of glycogen in different cell types. In liver, where glycogen is stored as a reserve of glucose for extrahepatic tissues, the glycogen-metabolizing enzymes have properties that enable the liver to act as a sensor of blood glucose and to store or mobilize glycogen according to the peripheral needs. The prime effector of hepatic glycogen deposition is glucose, which blocks glycogenolysis and promotes glycogen synthesis in various ways. Other glycogenic stimuli for the liver are insulin, glucocorticoids, parasympathetic (vagus) nerve impulses and gluconeogenic precursors such as fructose and amino acids. The phosphorolysis of glycogen is mainly mediated by glucagon and by the orthosympathetic neurotransmitters noradrenaline and ATP. Many glycogenolytic stimuli, e.g. adenosine, nucleotides and NO, also act indirectly, via secretion of eicosanoids from non-parenchymal cells. Effectors often initiate glycogenolysis cooperatively through different mechanisms.

Abstract
A novel Drosophila melanogaster protein, termed inhibitor-t, that bears 41% sequence similarity to human protein phosphatase inhibitor-2 has been identified using human protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in the yeast two hybrid system. Inhibitor-t mRNA is detected in adult males, larvae and pupae and the 184 amino acid thermostable protein located only in testis. The gene for inhibitor-t maps to cytological location 86F1 on the third chromosome. Bacterially expressed inhibitor-t specifically inhibits both mammalian and D. melanogaster PP1 catalytic subunits with an IC50 of approximately 200 nM. A motif -FEX1X2RK-, conserved between inhibitor-t, inhibitor-2 and its Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue Glc8, is demonstrated to be required for binding to PP1.

Abstract
Protein targeting to glycogen (PTG), also known as PPP1R5, is a widely expressed member of a growing family of proteins that target protein phosphatase-1 (PP-1) to glycogen particles. Because PTG also binds to glycogen synthase and phosphorylase kinase, it has been suggested that it serves as a "scaffold" for efficient activation of glycogen synthesis. However, very little is known about the metabolic effects of PTG. In this study, we have used recombinant adenovirus to overexpress PTG in primary rat hepatocytes, a cell type with high glycogenic capacity. We find that overexpression of PTG potently activates glycogen synthesis in cultured hepatocytes. Surprisingly, the glycogenic effect of PTG is observed even in the complete absence of carbohydrates or insulin in the culture medium. Furthermore, glycogenolytic agents such as forskolin or glucagon are largely ineffective at activating glycogen degradation in PTG overexpressing hepatocytes, even though large increases in cAMP levels are demonstrated. These metabolic effects of PTG overexpression are accompanied by a 3.6-fold increase in glycogen synthase activation state and a 40% decrease in glycogen phosphorylase activity. Our results are consistent with a model in which PTG overexpression "locks" the hepatocyte in a glycogenic mode, presumably via its ability to promote interaction of enzymes of glycogen metabolism with PP-1.

Abstract
The carboxyl-terminal domain of the gamma134.5 protein of the herpes simplex virus 1 binds to protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1) and is required to prevent the shut-off of protein synthesis resulting from phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eIF-2 by the double-stranded RNA-activated protein kinase. The corresponding domain of the conserved GADD34 protein homologous to gamma134.5 functionally substitutes for gamma134.5. This report shows that gamma134.5 and PP1 form a complex in the infected cells, that fractions containing this complex specifically dephosphorylate eIF-2alpha, and that both gamma134.5 and GADD34 proteins contain the amino acid sequence motif common to subunits of PP1 that is required for binding to the PP1 catalytic subunit. An oligopeptide containing this motif competes with gamma134.5 for binding to PP1. Substitution of Val193 and Phe195 in the PP1-binding motif abolished activity. These results suggest that the carboxyl-terminal domain of gamma134.5 protein has the structural and functional attributes of a subunit of PP1 specific for eIF-2alpha, that it has evolved to preclude shut-off of protein synthesis, and that GADD34 may have a similar function.

Abstract
Hepatic glycogen synthesis is impaired in insulin-dependent diabetic rats and in adrenalectomized starved rats, and although this is known to be due to defective activation of glycogen synthase by glycogen synthase phosphatase, the underlying molecular mechanism has not been delineated. Glycogen synthase phosphatase comprises the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) complexed with the hepatic glycogen-binding subunit, termed GL. In liver extracts of insulin-dependent diabetic and adrenalectomized starved rats, the level of GL was shown by immunoblotting to be substantially reduced compared with that in control extracts, whereas the level of PP1 catalytic subunit was not affected by these treatments. Insulin administration to diabetic rats restored the level of GL and prolonged administration raised it above the control levels, whereas re-feeding partially restored the GL level in adrenalectomized starved rats. The regulation of GL protein levels by insulin and starvation/feeding was shown to correlate with changes in the level of the GL mRNA, indicating that the long-term regulation of the hepatic glycogen-associated form of PP1 by insulin, and hence the activity of hepatic glycogen synthase, is predominantly mediated through changes in the level of the GL mRNA.

Abstract
Eukaryotic protein phosphatases are structurally and functionally diverse enzymes that are represented by three distinct gene families. Two of these, the PPP and PPM families, dephosphorylate phosphoserine and phosphothreonine residues, whereas the protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) dephosphorylate phosphotyrosine amino acids. A subfamily of the PTPs, the dual-specificity phosphatases, dephosphorylate all three phosphoamino acids. Within each family, the catalytic domains are highly conserved, with functional diversity endowed by regulatory domains and subunits. The protein Ser/Thr phosphatases are metalloenzymes and dephosphorylate their substrates in a single reaction step using a metal-activated nucleophilic water molecule. In contrast, the PTPs catalyze dephosphorylation by use of a cysteinyl-phosphate enzyme intermediate. The crystal structures of a number of protein phosphatases have been determined, enabling us to understand their catalytic mechanisms and the basis for substrate recognition and to begin to provide insights into molecular mechanisms of protein phosphatase regulation.

Abstract
NFAT transcription factors play a key role in the immune response. The activation of NFAT proteins is controlled by calcineurin, the calmodulin-dependent phosphatase that is inhibited by the immunosuppressive drugs cyclosporin A and FK506. Here we identify a short conserved sequence in NFAT proteins that targets calcineurin to NFAT. Mutation of a single residue in this sequence impairs the calcineurin-mediated dephosphorylation and nuclear translocation of NFAT1. Peptides spanning the region inhibit the ability of calcineurin to bind to and dephosphorylate NFAT proteins, without affecting the phosphatase activity of calcineurin against other substrates. When expressed intracellularly, a corresponding peptide inhibits NFAT dephosphorylation, nuclear translocation, and NFAT-mediated expression in response to stimulation. Thus, disruption of the enzyme-substrate docking interaction that directs calcineurin to NFAT can effectively block NFAT-dependent functions.

Abstract
A complementary DNA encoding a novel human protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) glycogen-targetting subunit of molecular mass 33 kDa has been sequenced. PPP1R6 is 31% identical to the glycogen-targetting subunit (G(L)) of PP1 from rat liver, 28% identical to the N-terminal region of the glycogen-targetting subunit (G(M)) from human skeletal muscle and 27% identical to glycogen-targetting subunit PPP1R5. Unlike human PPP1R5 and its murine homologue PTG, whose mRNAs are most abundant in skeletal muscle, heart and liver, PPP1R6 is present at similar levels in a wide variety of tissues. The PPP1R6 is associated with glycogen in muscle but is not subject to the same modes of covalent and allosteric regulation as G(M) and G(L).

Abstract
The stimulation of glycogen-targeted protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), glycogen synthase, and glycogen synthesis by insulin was examined during the differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts into adipocytes. Insulin treatment barely changed the low levels of glycogen synthesis measured in fibroblasts. Following differentiation into adipocytes, insulin increased glycogen synthesis up to 40-fold. After further culturing of the adipocytes for a week, insulin stimulated glycogen accumulation 700-fold. Differentiation of 3T3-L1 cells also resulted in the increased expression of glycogen synthase and in increases in both total glycogen synthase activity and -fold stimulation by insulin. While the levels of PP1 protein were unchanged by differentiation, PP1 specific activity decreased over 60%, although sensitivity to insulin treatment was augmented. Concurrently, levels of the PP1 inhibitor protein DARPP-32 were dramatically induced upon 3T3-L1 adipogenesis. DARPP-32 in both 3T3-L1 and primary rat adipocytes was exclusively localized to the particulate fractions, including the glycogen-enriched pellet. PP1 activity from 3T3-L1 adipocytes exhibited a kinetic lag in vitro, which was not present in fibroblast extracts. Insulin pretreatment of the adipocyte cells overcame the in vitro lag in PP1 activity, resulting in up to 5-fold stimulation of PP1 activity being measured at early assay time points. These results suggest that in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, DARPP-32 may maintain glycogen-targeted PP1 activity in a low basal state, priming the phosphatase for stimulation by insulin.

Abstract
An unusually large number of regulatory or targeting proteins that bind to the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 have been recently reported. This can be explained by their possession of a common protein motif that interacts with a binding site on protein phosphatase-1. The existence of such a motif was established by the panning of a random peptide library in which peptide sequences are displayed on the Escherichia coli bacterial flagellin protein for bacteria that bound to protein phosphatase-1. There were 79 isolates containing 46 unique sequences with the conserved motif VXF or VXW, where X was most frequently His or Arg. In addition, this sequence was commonly preceded by 2-5 basic residues and followed by 1 acidic residue. This study demonstrates that binding to protein phosphatase-1 can be conferred to a protein by the presentation of a peptide motif on a surface loop. This binding motif is found in a number of protein phosphatase-1-binding proteins.

Abstract
We have recently cloned from 3T3-L1 adipocytes a novel glycogen-targeting subunit of protein phosphatase-1, termed PTG (Printen, J. A., Brady, M. J., and Saltiel, A. R. (1997) Science 275, 1475-1478). Differentiation of 3T3-L1 fibroblasts into highly insulin-responsive adipocytes resulted in a marked increase in PTG expression. Immobilized glutathione S-transferase (GST)-PTG fusion protein specifically bound either PP1 or phosphorylase a. Addition of soluble GST-PTG to 3T3-L1 lysates increased PP1 activity against 32P-labeled phosphorylase a by decreasing the Km of PP1 for phosphorylase 5-fold, while having no effect on the Vmax of the dephosphorylation reaction. Alternatively, PTG did not affect PP1 activity against hormone-sensitive lipase. PTG was not a direct target of intracellular signaling, as insulin or forskolin treatment of cells did not activate a kinase capable of phosphorylating PTG in vivo or in vitro. Finally, PTG decreased the ability of DARPP-32 to inhibit PP1 activity from 3T3-L1 adipocyte lysates. These data cumulatively suggest that PTG increases PP1 activity against specific proteins by several distinct mechanisms.

Abstract
The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) catalytic subunit from freshly purified rabbit skeletal muscle was inhibited by MnCl2. Prolonged storage or inhibition by nonspecific phosphatase inhibitors ATP, sodium pyrophosphate, and NaF converted the muscle PP1 to a form that required Mn2+ for enzyme activity. Recombinant PP1 catalytic subunit expressed in Escherichia coli was also a Mn2+-dependent enzyme. While native PP1 was inhibited by the phosphoprotein inhibitor I (I-1), with an IC50 of 1 nM, 40-50-fold higher concentrations of I-1 were required to inhibit the Mn2+-dependent PP1 enzymes. Conversion to the Mn2+-dependent state was accompanied by a 20-fold increase in PP1's ability to dephosphorylate and inactivate I-1. Inhibition by thiophosphorylated I-1 established that dephosphorylation does not play a significant role in I-1's reduced potency as an inhibitor of Mn2+-dependent PP1. The Mn2+-dependent PP1 enzymes were poorly inhibited by N-terminal phosphopeptides of I-1, indicating their impaired interaction with the I-1 functional domain. Mutation of a residue conserved in I-1 and DARPP-32, a structurally related PP1 inhibitor, preferentially attenuated I-1's activity as an inhibitor of Mn2+-dependent PP1. These data showed that, in addition to changes in its catalytic properties, Mn2+-dependent PP1 was modified in its interaction with I-1 at a site that was distinct from its catalytic domain. Our studies suggest that conversion to a Mn2+-dependent state alters multiple structural elements in PP1 catalytic subunit that together define its regulation by I-1.

Abstract
Since the isolation of the first yeast protein phosphatase genes in 1989, much progress has been made in understanding this important group of proteins. Yeast contain genes encoding all the major types of protein phosphatase found in higher eukaryotes and the ability to use genetic approaches will complement the wealth of biochemical information available from other systems. This review will summarize recent progress in understanding the structure, function and regulation of the PPP family of protein serine-threonine phosphatases, concentrating on the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
The catalytic subunit of PP-1 (PP-1C) is potently inhibited (IC50, approximately 1 nM) by DARPP-32 (dopamine- and cAMP-regulated phosphoprotein, M(r) 32,000), inhibitor-1, and inhibitor-2. The NH2-terminal 50 amino acid residues of DARPP-32 and inhibitor-1 are similar, and phosphorylation of a common threonine residue (Thr-34/Thr-35) is necessary for inhibition of PP-1C. We have characterized further the interaction between DARPP-32 and PP-1C. Using synthetic peptides derived from the NH2-terminal region of DARPP-32, residues 6-11, RKKIQF, have been shown to be required for inhibition of PP-1C. Peptides containing this motif were able to antagonize the inhibition of PP-1C by phospho-DARPP-32 and phosphoinhibitor-1. The inhibition of PP-1C by inhibitor-2, but not by okadaic acid, microcystin, or calyculin A, was also attentuated by these antagonist peptides. These results together with results from other studies support a model in which two subdomains of phospho-DARPP-32 interact with PP-1C. The region encompassing phospho-Thr-34 appears to interact with the active site of the enzyme blocking enzyme activity. The region encompassing the RKKIQF motif binds to a domain of PP-1C removed from the active site. Amino acid sequence analysis indicates that basic and hydrophobic features of the RKKIQF motif are conserved in the binding domains of certain PP-1C targeting proteins, suggesting that interaction of inhibitor proteins and targeting proteins may be mutually exclusive.

Abstract
The diverse forms of protein phosphatase 1 in vivo result from the association of its catalytic subunit (PP1c) with different regulatory subunits, one of which is the G-subunit (G(M)) that targets PP1c to glycogen particles in muscle. Here we report the structure, at 3.0 A resolution, of PP1c in complex with a 13 residue peptide (G(M[63-75])) of G(M). The residues in G(M[63-75]) that interact with PP1c are those in the Arg/Lys-Val/Ile-Xaa-Phe motif that is present in almost every other identified mammalian PP1-binding subunit. Disrupting this motif in the G(M[63-75]) peptide and the M(110[1-38]) peptide (which mimics the myofibrillar targeting M110 subunit in stimulating the dephosphorylation of myosin) prevents these peptides from interacting with PP1. A short peptide from the PP1-binding protein p53BP2 that contains the RVXF motif also interacts with PP1c. These findings identify a recognition site on PP1c, invariant from yeast to humans, for a critical structural motif on regulatory subunits. This explains why the binding of PP1 to its regulatory subunits is mutually exclusive, and suggests a novel approach for identifying the functions of PP1-binding proteins whose roles are unknown.

Abstract
The biosynthesis of glycogen involves multiple proteins that associate with each other and the glycogen macromolecule. In efforts to understand the nature of these proteins, a two-hybrid screen was undertaken to detect proteins able to interact with Gsy2p, a major form of glycogen synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two positives expressed proteins derived from genes designated PIG1 and PIG2, on chromosomes XIIR and IXL respectively. PIG1 codes for a protein with 38% identity over a 230 residue segment to Gac1p, a protein thought to be a type 1 protein phosphatase targeting subunit whose loss impairs glycogen synthesis. Pig2p has 30% identify to the protein corresponding to an open reading frame, YER054, on chromosome V. Deletion of PIG1 on its own had little effect on glycogen storage but, in combination with loss of GAC1, caused a more severe glycogen-deficient phenotype than seen in gac1 mutants. This result is consistent with Pig1p being functionally related to Gac1p and we propose that Pig1p may be a type 1 phosphatase regulatory subunit. Delection of PIG2, YER054, or both genes together caused no detectable change in glycogen metabolism under the conditions tested. Gac1p, Pig1p, Pig2p and the YER054p are the only four proteins coded by the yeast genome that share a conserved segment of approximately 25 residues, designated the GVNK motif, that is identifiable also in RGI, the mammalian type 1 phosphatase targeting subunit.

Abstract
Protein dephosphorylation by phosphatase PP1 plays a central role in mediating the effects of insulin on glucose and lipid metabolism. A PP1C-targeting protein expressed in 3T3-L1 adipocytes (called PTG, for protein targeting to glycogen) was cloned and characterized. PTG was expressed predominantly in insulin-sensitive tissues. In addition to binding and localizing PP1C to glycogen, PTG formed complexes with phosphorylase kinase, phosphorylase a, and glycogen synthase, the primary enzymes involved in the hormonal regulation of glycogen metabolism. Overexpression of PTG markedly increased basal and insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis in Chinese hamster ovary cells overexpressing the insulin receptor, which do not express endogenous PTG. These results suggest that PTG is critical for glycogen metabolism, possibly functioning as a molecular scaffold.

Abstract
A full-length cDNA encoding a novel human protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) binding subunit of molecular mass 36 kDa, termed PPP1R5, was sequenced. PPP1R5 shows 42% identity to the glycogen binding subunit (G(L)) of PP1 from rat liver and 28% identity to the N-terminal region of the glycogen binding subunit (G(M)) of PP1 from human skeletal muscle. Like G(L), PPP1R5 modulates the specificity of PP1, but it differs from G(L) in being present in a wide variety of tissues, besides liver. The amino acid sequence and properties of PPP1R5 indicate that it is not subject to the same modes of covalent and allosteric regulation by hormones as are G(M) and G(L).

Abstract
Since the isolation of the first yeast protein phosphatase genes in 1989, much progress has been made in understanding this important group of proteins. Yeast contain genes encoding all the major types of protein phosphatase found in higher eukaryotes and the ability to use genetic approaches will complement the wealth of biochemical information available from other systems. This review will summarize recent progress in understanding the structure, function and regulation of the PPP family of protein serine-threonine phosphatases, concentrating on the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Abstract
Biotinylated microcystin was used to affinity purify over avidin-Sepharose the entire cellular content of active forms of protein phosphatase (PP) 1 and 2A holoenzymes present in three subcellular fractions of skeletal muscle. Biotinylated microcystin displayed IC50 values in the nM range against PP-1C (1.58 +/- 0.6 nM S.E., n = 3), PP-2AC (0.63 +/- 0.2 nM S.E., n = 3) and SMPP-1M (5.9 +/- 1.3 S.E., n = 3). Subsequent anion-exchange chromatography and SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the microcystin-biotin eluates of the three fractions revealed a complex pattern of proteins associated with PP-1C and PP-2AC. Far Western analysis and the rebinding interaction with recombinant PP-1C distinguished proteins in the eluates that bound PP-1C from those that bound PP-2AC. In Far Western analysis, 29 distinct proteins were identified to bind PP-1C. Significantly, these same proteins, plus seven others, were also recovered from the isothiocyanate eluates from microcystin-Sepharose by a rebinding interaction with PP-1C-microcystin-biotin. The number of proteins and range of novel molecular masses (18-125 kDa) identified to interact with PP-1C by these two techniques cannot be accounted for by the previously characterized subunits of PP-1. Our findings further support the concept that PP-1C is regulated in vivo by multiple and distinct substrate-targeting subunits.

Abstract
This study identifies a 100-residue domain within the rabbit skeletal muscle regulatory subunit (PP1G) that binds both type-1 protein phosphatase (PP1C) and glycogen. An N-terminal portion of PP1G was cloned by RT-PCR, and different sized fragments were expressed in bacteria as glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion proteins. A GST-PP1G fusion containing residues 51-240 bound both PPIC and glycogen, whereas GST alone or fusions containing residues 51-140 or 241-360 bound neither PP1C nor glycogen. The PPIC in whole cell lysates or partially purified PP1C from skeletal muscle, or a complex of PP1C-MCLR-biotin, all bound more effectively than Mn(2+)-activated, recombinant PP1C purified from bacteria. Binding was enhanced by increasing the ionic strength and was disrupted by ethylene glycol, consistent with hydrophobic interactions being critical for stable association. Phosphorylation of the GST-PP1G fusion by cAMP-dependent protein kinase prevented completely association of PP1C. This domain of PP1G, from residues 141-240, contains two sequence motifs of hydrophobic residues: Gx8FEKx10W and DxFxFxIxL, that are conserved among the known glycogen-binding PP1 regulatory subunits. These segments are predicted to form an alpha helix and a beta sheet, and we propose that they are the sites for association with PP1C and glycogen, respectively.

Abstract
The specificity of the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1c) is modified by regulatory subunits that target it to particular subcellular locations. Here, we identify PP1c-binding domains on GL and GM, the subunits that target PP1c to hepatic and muscle glycogen, respectively, and on M110, the subunit that targets PP1c to smooth muscle myosin. GM-(G63-T93) interacted with PP1c and prevented GL from suppressing the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase, but it did not dissociate GL from PP1c or affect other characteristic properties of the PP1GL complex. These results indicate that GL contains two PP1c-binding sites, the region which suppresses the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase being distinct from that which enhances the dephosphorylation of glycogen synthase. At higher concentrations, GM-(G63-N75) had the same effect as GM-(G63-T93), but not if Ser67 was phosphorylated by cyclic-AMP-dependent protein kinase. Thus, phosphorylation of Ser67 dissociates GM from PP1c because phosphate is inserted into the PP1c-binding domain of GM. M110-(M1-E309) and M110-(M1-F38), but not M110-(D39-E309), mimicked the M110 subunit in stimulating dephosphorylation of the smooth muscle myosin P-light chain and heavy meromyosin in vitro. However, in contrast to the M110 subunit and M110-(M1-E309), neither M110-(M1-F38) nor M110-(D39-E309) suppressed the PP1c-catalysed dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase. These observations suggest that the region which stimulates the dephosphorylation of myosin is situated within the N-terminal 38 residues of the M110 subunit, while the region which suppresses the dephosphorylation of glycogen phosphorylase requires the presence of at least part of the region 39-309 which contains seven ankyrin repeats. M110-(M1-F38) displaced GL from PP1c, while GM-(G63-T93) displaced M110 from PP1c in vitro. These observations indicate that the region(s) of PP1c that interact with GM/GL and M110 overlap, explaining why different forms of PP1c contain just a single targetting subunit.

Abstract
Interactions of the type 1 phosphatase catalytic subunit (PP1c) and the myosin phosphatase holoenzyme (MBP) were compared using affinity columns. In the absence of ATP, MBP bound to dephosphorylated myosin, heavy meromyosin (HMM), and subfragment 1. In contrast, PP1c was not bound. In the presence of ATP, the binding of MBP occurred only with phosphorylated protein. The interaction of MBP with phosphorylated proteins also was demonstrated using thiophosphorylated proteins as competitive inhibitors. Kinetics parameters were determined. With phosphorylated light chains (P-LC20), the major difference between PP1c and MBP was a lower K(m) for the latter. With myosin, MBP showed a marked increase in kcat, compared to PP1c. ATP did not affect these parameters. To investigate the role of the large phosphatase subunit, two recombinant proteins representing the N-terminal two-thirds of the molecule were expressed. These activated PP1c, and activation was maximum at approximately an equimolar ratio. The equimolar mixture of recombinant fragment and PP1c exhibited K(m) values similar to MBP and increased kcat values, compared to PP1c alone. An affinity column was prepared using the recombinant fragment. Phosphorylated HMM and P-LC20 were bound in the presence and absence of ATP. The interaction of P-LC20 was not ATP-dependent. Dephosphorylated HMM did not bind in the presence of ATP. The N-terminal fragment of the large subunit also contained a binding site for PP1c. These results indicate that the N-terminal portion of the large subunit of MBP contained binding sites for P-LC20 and PP1c.

Abstract
The p53 binding protein, termed p53BP2, was identified as a protein interacting with protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) in the yeast two hybrid system. The interaction was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation of p53BP2 with epitope-tagged PP1 in vitro. The p53BP2-PP1 complex was stable to NaCl at concentrations which dissociate the p53-p53BP2 complex, and the binding of PP1 and p53 to p53BP2 was mutually exclusive. The region required for interaction with PP1 was shown to be contained within amino acids 297-431 of p53BP2, which includes two ankyrin repeats. The phosphorylase phosphatase activity of PP1 was inhibited by p53BP2 at nanomolar concentrations. These results suggest that PP1 may be involved in dephosphorylation and regulation of p53 through interaction with p53BP2.
