Protein phosphatase 1 (PPP1) is the PPP most ubiquitous and each isoform interact with regulatory subunits that may be responsible for their subcellular localization. We identified PPP1R15B, C1ORF71 as novel regulators and the aim of this study was their further characterization in carcinoma cells. We analysed localization of each regulator in MDA-MB-468 cells and we transfected with constructs that we made with each as a GFP-fusion protein. For PPP1 cellular localization we used specific antibodies for each isoform. We observed the cells under a fluorescent microscope and LSM and we quantified co-localization. We found a high overlap coefficient of both the novel proteins with PPP1alpha and PPP1gamma1. We propose a model in which PPP1 regulator interacts with one or two regulatory subunits that may be used as target for therapeutic strategies.

Cycle Regulation

Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) comprises a family of serine/threonine phosphatases, minimally containing a well conserved catalytic subunit, the activity of which is highly regulated. Regulation is accomplished mainly by members of a family of regulatory subunits, which determine the substrate specificity, (sub)cellular localization and catalytic activity of the PP2A holoenzymes. Moreover, the catalytic subunit is subject to two types of post-translational modification, phosphorylation and methylation, which are also thought to be important regulatory devices. The regulatory ability of PTPA (PTPase activator), originally identified as a protein stimulating the phosphotyrosine phosphatase activity of PP2A, will also be discussed, alongside the other regulatory inputs. The use of specific PP2A inhibitors and molecular genetics in yeast, Drosophila and mice has revealed roles for PP2A in cell cycle regulation, cell morphology and development. PP2A also plays a prominent role in the regulation of specific signal transduction cascades, as witnessed by its presence in a number of macromolecular signalling modules, where it is often found in association with other phosphatases and kinases. Additionally, PP2A interacts with a substantial number of other cellular and viral proteins, which are PP2A substrates, target PP2A to different subcellular compartments or affect enzyme activity. Finally, the de-regulation of PP2A in some specific pathologies will be touched upon.

Tight regulation of gene expression is critical for cells to respond normally to physiological and environmental cues and to allow cell specialization. Reversible phosphorylation of key structural and regulatory proteins, from histones to the transcriptional machinery, is acknowledged to be an important mechanism of regulating spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression. PP1 (protein phosphatase-1), a major class of serine/threonine protein phosphatase, is found at many sites on Drosophila polytene chromosomes where it is involved in controlling gene expression and chromatin structure. PP1 is targeted to different chromosomal loci through interaction with a variety of different regulatory subunits, which modify PP1's activity towards specific substrates. This mini-review gives an overview of known chromosome-associated PP1 complexes, their role in transcriptional control and the prospects for future analysis.

ABSTRACT Faithful chromosome segregation depends on the opposing activities of the budding yeast Glc7/PP1 protein phosphatase and Ipl1/Aurora protein kinase. We explored the relationship between Glc7 and Ipl1 and found that the phosphorylation of the Ipl1 substrate, Dam1, was altered by decreased Glc7 activity, whereas Ipl1 levels, localization, and kinase activity were not. These data strongly suggest that Glc7 ensures accurate chromosome segregation by dephosphorylating Ipl1 targets rather than regulating the Ipl1 kinase. To identify potential Glc7 and Ipl1 substrates, we isolated ipl1-321 dosage suppressors. Seven genes (SDS22, BUD14, GIP3, GIP4, SOL1, SOL2, and PEX31) encode newly identified ipl1 dosage suppressors, and all 10 suppressors encode proteins that physically interact with Glc7. The overexpression of the Gip3 and Gip4 suppressors altered Glc7 localization, indicating they are previously unidentified Glc7 regulatory subunits. In addition, the overexpression of Gip3 and Gip4 from the galactose promoter restored Dam1 phosphorylation in ipl1-321 mutant cells and caused wild-type cells to arrest in metaphase with unsegregated chromosomes, suggesting that Gip3 and Gip4 overexpression impairs Glc7's mitotic functions. We therefore propose that the overexpression of Glc7 regulatory subunits can titrate Glc7 away from relevant Ipl1 targets and thereby suppress ipl1-321 cells by restoring the balance of phosphatase/kinase activity.
