Dephosphorylation of cardiac myofibril C-protein by protein phosphatase 1 and protein phosphatase 2A.

C-protein purified from chicken cardiac myofibrils was phosphorylated with the catalytic subunit of cAMP-dependent protein kinase to nearly 3 mol [32P]phosphate/mol C protein. Digestion of 32P-labeled C-protein with trypsin revealed that the radioactivity was nearly equally distributed in three tryptic peptides which were separated by reversed-phase HPLC. Fragmentation of 32P-labeled C-protein with CNBr showed that the isotope was incorporated at different ratios in three CNBr fragments which were separated on polyacrylamide gels in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. Phosphorylation was present in both serine and threonine residues. Incubation of 32P-labeled C-protein with the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 or 2A rapidly removed 30-40% of the [32P]phosphate. The major site(s) dephosphorylated by either one of the phosphatases was a phosphothreonine residue(s) apparently located on the same tryptic peptide and on the same CNBr fragment. CNBr fragmentation also revealed a minor phosphorylation site which was dephosphorylated by either of the phosphatases. Increasing the incubation period or the phosphatase concentration did not result in any further dephosphorylation of C-protein by phosphatase 1, but phosphatase 2A at high concentrations could completely dephosphorylate C-protein. These results demonstrate that C-protein phosphorylated with cAMP-dependent protein kinase can be dephosphorylated by protein phosphatases 1 and 2A. It is suggested that the enzyme responsible for dephosphorylation of C-protein in vivo is phosphatase 2A.

Temporal changes in the expression of protein phosphatase 1 and protein phosphatase 2A in proliferating and differentiating murine erythroleukaemia cells.

Rhythmic changes in the expression of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) were investigated during hexamethylene bisacetamide (HMBA) induced differentiation of murine erythroleukaemic (MEL) cells. Cell extracts were analysed by SDS-PAGE and western immunoblotting using specific antibodies. An immunospecific band of molecular mass 36 kDa (catalytic subunit) was detected for PP1. For PP2A, two immunospecific bands of 32 kDa (proteolytically cleaved catalytic subunit) and 36 kDa (catalytic subunit) were observed. Comparisons of proliferating and differentiating cells using only one time point showed no significant differences between mean values for the expression of the PP1 or PP2A enzyme proteins. This kind of analysis, implying that HMBA had little effect, proved misleading, as comparisons using multiple time points showed rhythmic patterns of protein expression which were modulated by the differentiating agent. The effects were complex affecting both the frequency and phasing of rhythms. The results add further support for the view that live cells are multi-oscillators and for the concept that differentiation depends on changes in temporal organization of complex autodynamic feedback loops and multiple interactions between control circuits performing in parallel. In particular, modulation of the dynamics of key proteins, such as PP1 and PP2A, may be a possible mechanism for controlling cellular function and reversing transformation in accordance with long standing theoretical and other experimental data.

Regulation of recombinant PKC alpha activity by protein phosphatase 1 and protein phosphatase 2A.

The sensitivity of PKC alpha to two protein phosphatases (PP1 and PP2A) has been studied. The results show that both phosphatases reversibly inhibit PKC alpha activity suggesting an effect at PKC autophosphorylation sites and not at transphosphorylation sites. Moreover, PP1 has been found at low concentration to activate PKC alpha implying the existence of an inhibitory phosphorylation site. Further, PKC alpha has been shown to phosphorylate PP2A at its regulatory subunit B.

Evidence that the endogenous histone H1 phosphatase in HeLa mitotic chromosomes is protein phosphatase 1, not protein phosphatase 2A.

Histone H1 is highly phosphorylated in mitotic HeLa cells, but is quickly dephosphorylated in vivo at the end of mitosis and in vitro following cell lysis. We show here that okadaic acid and microcystin-LR block the in vitro dephosphorylation of H1 and that they do so directly by inhibiting the histone H1 phosphatase rather than by some indirect mechanism. The concentrations of microcystin and okadaic acid required for inhibition strongly suggest that the histone H1 phosphatase is either PP1 or an unknown protein phosphatase with okadaic acid-sensitivity similar to PP1. The histone H1 phosphatase is predominantly located in chromosomes with at most one copy for every 86 nucleosomes. This tends to support its identification as PP1, since localization in mitotic chromosomes is a characteristic of PP1 but not of the other known okadaic acid-sensitive protein phosphatases. We also show that treatment of metaphase-arrested HeLa cells with staurosporine and olomoucine, inhibitors of p34cdc2 and other protein kinases, rapidly induces reassembly of interphase nuclei and dephosphorylation of histone H1 without chromosome segregation. This result indicates that protein kinase activity must remain elevated to maintain a mitotic block. Using this as a model system for the M- to G1-phase transition, we present evidence from inhibitor studies suggesting that the in vivo histone H1 phosphatase may be either PP1 or another phosphatase with similar okadaic acid-sensitivity, but not PP2A.

CCDC6 represses CREB1 activity by recruiting histone deacetylase 1 and protein phosphatase 1.

RET/papillary thyroid carcinoma 1 (PTC1) oncogene is frequently activated in human PTCs. It is characterized by the fusion of the intracellular kinase-encoding domain of RET to the first 101 amino acids of CCDC6. The aim of our work is to characterize the function of the CCDC6 protein to better understand the function of its truncation, that results in the loss of the expression of one allele, in the process of thyroid carcinogenesis. Here, we report that CCDC6 interacts with CREB1 and represses its transcriptional activity by recruiting histone deacetylase 1 and protein phosphatase 1 proteins at the CRE site of the CREB1 target genes. Finally, we show an increased CREB1 phosphorylation and activity in PTCs carrying the RET/PTC1 oncogene. Consistently, an increased expression of two known CREB1 target genes, AREG and cyclin A, was observed in this subgroup of thyroid papillary carcinomas. Therefore, the repression of CREB1 activity by CCDC6 has a critical function in the development of human thyroid papillary carcinomas carrying RET/PTC1 activation.

GABAA receptor phospho-dependent modulation is regulated by phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1, a novel protein phosphatase 1 anchoring protein.

GABA(A) receptors are critical in controlling neuronal activity. Here, we examined the role for phospholipase C-related inactive protein type 1 (PRIP-1), which binds and inactivates protein phosphatase 1alpha (PP1alpha) in facilitating GABA(A) receptor phospho-dependent regulation using PRIP-1-/- mice. In wild-type animals, robust phosphorylation and functional modulation of GABA(A) receptors containing beta3 subunits by cAMP-dependent protein kinase was evident, which was diminished in PRIP-1-/- mice. PRIP-1-/- mice exhibited enhanced PP1alpha activity compared with controls. Furthermore, PRIP-1 was able to interact directly with GABA(A) receptor beta subunits, and moreover, these proteins were found to be PP1alpha substrates. Finally, phosphorylation of PRIP-1 on threonine 94 facilitated the dissociation of PP1alpha-PRIP-1 complexes, providing a local mechanism for the activation of PP1alpha. Together, these results suggest an essential role for PRIP-1 in controlling GABA(A) receptor activity via regulating subunit phosphorylation and thereby the efficacy of neuronal inhibition mediated by these receptors.

Rapid identification of protein phosphatase 1-binding proteins by mixed peptide sequencing and data base searching. Characterization of a novel holoenzymic form of protein phosphatase 1.

Microcystin-affinity chromatography was used to purify 15 protein phosphatase 1 (PP1)-binding proteins from the myofibrillar fraction of rabbit skeletal muscle. To reduce the time and amount of material required to identify these proteins, proteome analysis by mixed peptide sequencing was developed. Proteins are resolved by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, electroblotted to polyvinylidene fluoride membrane, and stained. Bands are sliced from the membrane, cleaved briefly with CnBr, and applied without further purification to an automated Edman sequencer. The mixed peptide sequences generated are sorted and matched against the GenBank using two new programs, FASTF and TFASTF. This technology offers a simple alternative to mass spectrometry for the subpicomolar identification of proteins in polyacrylamide gels. Using this technology, all 15 proteins recovered in PP-1C affinity chromatography were sequenced. One of the proteins, PP-1bp55, was homologous to human myosin phosphatase, MYPT2. A second, PP-1bp80, identified in the EST data bases, contained a putative PP-1C binding site and a nucleotide binding motif. Further affinity purification over ATP-Sepharose isolated PP-1bp80 in a quaternary complex with PP-1C and two other proteins, PP-1bp29 and human p20. Recombinant PP-1bp80 also bound PP-1C and suppressed its activity toward a variety of substrates, suggesting that the protein is a novel regulatory subunit of PP-1.

New insights in protein phosphorylation: a signature for protein phosphatase 1 interacting proteins.

Protein phosphatase 1 is regulated by the interaction between a catalytic subunit (PP1c) and multiple interacting proteins that allow the specific dephosphorylation of diverse cellular targets. This communication proposes to use the simultaneous presence of distinct consensus PP1c docking motifs R/K-x(0,1)-V-x-F and F-x-x-R/K-x-R/K as a signature to identify proteins putatively interacting with the PP1c. To develop this concept, we propose a new website, http://pp1 signature.pasteur.fr, which allows the identification of putative PP1-interacting proteins containing the two distinct PP1c docking consensus motifs represented in the Swissprot library. To validate the new concept of signature, we were able to characterise, by co-immunoprecipitation, four new PP1c interacting proteins randomly selected from the database in our website.

Amino acid sequence of a novel protein phosphatase 1 binding protein (R5) which is related to the liver- and muscle-specific glycogen binding subunits of protein phosphatase 1.

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).

Protein phosphatase 1, but not protein phosphatase 2A, dephosphorylates DNA-damaging stress-induced phospho-serine 15 of p53.

Okadaic acid (OA) is a protein phosphatase (PP) inhibitor and induces hyperphosphorylation of p53. We investigated whether the inhibition of PP1 by OA promotes the phosphorylation of the serine 15 of p53. In vitro dephosphorylation assay showed that PP1 dephosphorylated ultraviolet C (UVC)-induced phospho-ser15 of p53, and that OA treatment inhibited it. One of the PP1 regulators, growth arrest and DNA damage 34 (GADD34), disturbed PP1 binding with p53, interfered with the dephosphorylation of p53 and increased the amount of phospho-p53 after UVC-treatment. This report provides the first evidence that PP1, but not PP2A, dephosphorylates phospho-serine 15 of p53.

Phosphorylation of myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 3 (MYPT3) and regulation of protein phosphatase 1 by protein kinase A.

Myosin phosphatase targeting subunit 3 (MYPT3) and transforming growth factor-beta-inhibited membrane-associated protein (TIMAP) are two closely related myosin-binding targeting subunits of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1c) with a characteristic CAAX (where AA indicates aliphatic amino acid) box at the C termini. Here we show that MYPT3 can be a substrate for protein kinase A (PKA). We first mapped the multiple phosphorylation sites within a central conserved motif. Deletion or mutations of this motif resulted in enhancement of the associated PP1c activity, suggesting that phosphorylation of MYPT3 may play an important role in regulating PP1c catalytic activity. However, unlike the other known MYPTs, which upon phosphorylation inhibit PP1c, PKA phosphorylation of MYPT3 resulted in PP1c activation, indicating a different mode of action. There is a direct interaction between the central conserved phosphorylated site motif with the N-terminal ankyrin repeat region; this interaction was significantly reduced with MYPT3 phosphorylation or acidic phosphorylation site mutations, with concomitant alterations in biochemical and morphological consequences. We therefore propose a novel mechanism for the phosphorylation of MYPT3 by PKA and activation of the catalytic activity through direct interaction of a central region of MYPT3 with its N-terminal region.

The yeast GLC7 gene required for glycogen accumulation encodes a type 1 protein phosphatase.

The glc7 mutant of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae does not accumulate glycogen due to a defect in glycogen synthase activation (Peng, Z., Trumbly, R. J., and Reimann, E.M. (1990) J. Biol. Chem. 265, 13871-13877) whereas wild-type strains accumulate glycogen as the cell cultures approach stationary phase. We isolated the GLC7 gene by complementation of the defect in glycogen accumulation and found that the GLC7 gene is the same as the DIS2S1 gene (Ohkura, H., Kinoshita, N., Miyatani, S., Toda, T., and Yanagida, M. (1989) Cell 57, 997-1007). The protein product predicted by the GLC7 DNA sequence has a sequence that is 81% identical with rabbit protein phosphatase 1 catalytic subunit. Protein phosphatase 1 activity was greatly diminished in extracts from glc7 mutant cells. Two forms of protein phosphatase 1 were identified after chromatography of extracts on DEAE-cellulose. Both forms were diminished in the glc7 mutant and were partly restored by transformation with a plasmid carrying the GLC7 gene. Southern blots indicate the presence of a single copy of GLC7 in S. cerevisiae, and gene disruption experiments showed that the GLC7 gene is essential for cell viability. The GLC7 mRNA was identified as a 1.4-kilobase RNA that increases 4-fold at the end of exponential growth in wild-type cells, suggesting that activation of glycogen synthase is mediated by increased expression of protein phosphatase 1 as cells reach stationary phase.

Dephosphorylation of protein kinase C substrates, neurogranin, neuromodulin, and MARCKS, by calcineurin and protein phosphatases 1 and 2A.

Neurogranin, neuromodulin, and MARCKS are among the most prominent substrates of protein kinase C (PKC) in the mammalian brain. These phosphoproteins were dephosphorylated by three isoforms of rat brain calcineurin, also known as calmodulin (CaM)-dependent protein phosphatase (CaMPP). The three CaMPP isozymes dephosphorylate neurogranin, the most favorable substrate among the three tested, with subtle differences in their responses to divalent metal ions, Mn2+ and Ni2+. Dephosphorylation of neurogranin by all three CaMPP isozymes, CaMPP-1, -2, and -3, were stimulated to a higher extent by Mn2+ than by Ni2+ in the presence of CaM and Ca2+. The Km values of neurogranin in the presence of Mn2+ were lower than those in the presence of Ni2+ for CaMPP-1 and -2, but that for CaMPP-3 was comparable with either divalent metal ion. The Vmax values were higher in the presence of Mn2+ than those of Ni2+ for all three isozymes. Neurogranin and neuromodulin, both phosphorylated by PKC at a single site, were dephosphorylated completely by CaMPP; however, MARCKS, phosphorylated by PKC at three sites, was partially dephosphorylated by this phosphatase. A higher extent of dephosphorylation of MARCKS could be achieved by the combination of CaMPP and protein phosphatase 2A and a complete dephosphorylation of this protein was observed with protein phosphatase 1. Protein phosphatase 1 and 2A were also effective in a complete dephosphorylation of neurogranin and neuromodulin. Amino acid sequence analysis of the tryptic phosphopeptides derived from MARCKS dephosphorylated by CaMPP and protein phosphatase 2A revealed that the former preferentially dephosphorylated Ser155 and the latter Ser162 of rat brain MARCKS. Both phosphatases dephosphorylated poorly of Ser151. Because of the high concentration of CaMPP in the brain and the colocalization of this phosphatase with major PKC substrates in the various brain regions, it is likely that CaMPP is a phosphatase with potential to reverse the action of PKC.

The structure, role, and regulation of type 1 protein phosphatases.

Type 1 protein phosphatases (PP-1) comprise a group of widely distributed enzymes that specifically dephosphorylate serine and threonine residues of certain phosphoproteins. They all contain an isoform of the same catalytic subunit, which has an extremely conserved primary structure. One of the properties of PP-1 that allows one to distinguish them from other serine/threonine protein phosphatases is their sensitivity to inhibition by two proteins, termed inhibitor 1 and inhibitor 2, or modulator. The latter protein can also form a 1:1 complex with the catalytic subunit that slowly inactivates upon incubation. This complex is reactivated in vitro by incubation with MgATP and protein kinase FA/GSK-3. In the cell the type 1 catalytic subunit is associated with noncatalytic subunits that determine the activity, the substrate specificity, and the subcellular location of the phosphatase. PP-1 plays an essential role in glycogen metabolism, calcium transport, muscle contraction, intracellular transport, protein synthesis, and cell division. The activity of PP-1 is regulated by hormones like insulin, glucagon, alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonists, glucocorticoids, and thyroid hormones.

Ser67-phosphorylated inhibitor 1 is a potent protein phosphatase 1 inhibitor.

Inhibitor 1 (I-1) is a protein inhibitor of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), a major eukaryotic Ser/Thr phosphatase. Nonphosphorylated I-1 is inactive, whereas phosphorylated I-1 is a potent PP1 inhibitor. I-1 is phosphorylated in vivo on Thr(35) and Ser(67). Thr(35) is phosphorylated by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (A kinase), and Thr(35)-phosphorylated I-1 inhibits PP1. Until now the kinase that phosphorylates Ser(67) had not been identified and the physiological role of Ser(67) phosphorylation was unknown. In this study we detected a high level of kinase activity in brain extract when a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion I-1 mutant containing an Ala substituted for Thr(35) [GST-I-1(T35A)] was used as the substrate. GST-I-1(T35A) kinase and neuronal cdc2-like protein kinase (NCLK) in the brain extract could not be separated from each other by a series of sequential chromatographies. GST-I-1(T35A) kinase immunoprecipitated with anti-NCLK antibody from kinase-active column fractions. Purified NCLK-phosphorylated GST-I-1(T35A) and I-1 (0.7 mole of phosphate per mole of I-1). HPLC phosphopeptide mapping, amino acid sequencing, and site-directed mutagenesis determined that NCLK phosphorylates Ser(67) of I-1. NCLK-phosphorylated I-1 and I-1(T35A) inhibited PP1 with IC(50) values approximately 9.5 and 13. 8 nM, respectively. When compared, A kinase-phosphorylated I-1 was only approximately 1.2 times more inhibitory than NCLK-phosphorylated I-1. Our data indicate that NCLK is a potential in vivo I-1 kinase and that Thr(35) and Ser(67) phosphorylation independently activate I-1.

Phactrs 1-4: A family of protein phosphatase 1 and actin regulatory proteins.

Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a multifunctional enzyme with diverse roles in the nervous system, including regulation of synaptic activity and dendritic morphology. PP1 activity is controlled via association with a family of regulatory subunits that govern subcellular localization and substrate specificity. A previously undescribed class of PP1-binding proteins was detected by interaction cloning. Family members were also found to bind to cytoplasmic actin via Arg, Pro, Glu, and Leu repeat-containing sequences. The prototypical member of this family, phosphatase and actin regulator (phactr) 1 was a potent modulator of PP1 activity in vitro. Phactr-1 protein is selectively expressed in brain, where high levels were found in cortex, hippocampus, and striatum, with enrichment of the protein at synapses. Additional family members displayed highly distinct mRNA transcript expression patterns within rat brain. The current findings present a mechanism by which PP1 may be directed toward neuronal substrates associated with the actin cytoskeleton.

Phosphorylation and inactivation of protein phosphatase 1 by cyclin-dependent kinases.

Protein phosphatase 1 and protein phosphatase 2A contain potential phosphorylation sites for cyclin-dependent kinases. In the present study we found that rabbit skeletal muscle protein phosphatase 1, as well as recombinant protein phosphatase 1 alpha and protein phosphatase 1 gamma 1, but not protein phosphatase 2A, was phosphorylated and inhibited by cdc2/cyclin A and cdc2/cyclin B. Phosphopeptide mapping and phospho amino acid analysis suggested that the phosphorylation site was located at a C-terminal threonine. Neither cdc2/cyclin A nor cdc2/cyclin B phosphorylated an active form of protein phosphatase 1 alpha in which Thr-320 had been mutated to alanine, indicating that the phosphorylation occurred at this threonine residue. Furthermore, protein phosphatase 1, but not protein phosphatase 2A, activity was found to change during the cell cycle of human MG-63 osteosarcoma cells. The observed oscillations in protein phosphatase 1 activity during the cell cycle may be due, at least in part, to phosphorylation of protein phosphatase 1 by cyclin-dependent kinases. Together, the results suggest a mechanism for direct regulation of protein phosphatase 1 activity.

Protein phosphatase 1 positively regulates stomatal opening in response to blue light in Vicia faba.

Phototropins, plant blue light receptors, mediate stomatal opening through the activation of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase by unknown mechanisms. Here we report that type 1 protein phosphatase (PP1) positively regulates the blue light signaling between phototropins and the H(+)-ATPase in guard cells of Vicia faba. We cloned the four catalytic subunits of PP1 (PP1c) from guard cells and determined the expression of the isoforms in various tissues. Transformation of Vicia guard cells with PP1c isoforms that had lost enzymatic activity by one amino acid mutation, or with human inhibitor-2, a specific inhibitor protein of PP1c, suppressed blue light-induced stomatal opening. Addition of fusicoccin, an activator of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, to these transformed guard cells induced normal stomatal opening, suggesting that the transformations did not affect the basic mechanisms for stomatal opening. Tautomycin, an inhibitor of PP1, inhibited blue light-induced H(+) pumping, phosphorylation of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase in guard cell protoplasts, and stomatal opening. However, tautomycin did not inhibit the blue light-dependent phosphorylation of phototropins. We conclude that PP1 functions downstream of phototropins and upstream of the H(+)-ATPase in the blue light signaling pathway of guard cells.
