Cellular functions of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) are determined by regulatory subunits that contain the consensus PP1-binding motif, RVXF. This motif was first identified as the site of phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) in a skeletal muscle glycogen-targeting subunit (GM). We reported previously that a recombinant fusion protein of glutathione S-transferase (GST) and the N-terminal domain of GM [GST-GM-(1-240)] bound PP1 in a pull down assay, and phosphorylation by PKA prevented PP1 binding. Here we report that substitution of either Ala or Val for Ser-67 in the RVS67F motif in GST-GM-(1-240) essentially eliminated PP1 binding. This was unexpected because other glycogen-targeting subunits have a Val residue at the position corresponding to Ser-67. In contrast, a mutation of Ser-67 to Thr (S67T) in GST-GM(1-240) gave a protein that bound PP1 the same as wild type and was unaffected by PKA phosphorylation. Full length GM tagged with the epitope sequence DYKDDDDK (FLAG) expressed in COS7 cells bound PP1 that was recovered by co-immunoprecipitation, but this association was prevented by treatment of the cells with forskolin. By comparison, PP1 binding with FLAG-GM(S67T) was not disrupted by forskolin treatment. Neither FLAG-GM(S67A) nor FLAG-GM(S67V) formed stable complexes with PP1 in COS7 cells. These results emphasise the unique contribution of Ser-67 in PP1 binding to GM. The constitutive PP1-binding activity shown by GM(S67T) opens the way for studying the role of GM multisite phosphorylation in hormonal control of glycogen metabolism.

A prediabetic phenotype of glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and obesity was observed at ∼12 months of age in mice homozygous for a null allele of the major skeletal muscle glycogen-targeting subunit GM of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) and derived from a 129/Ola donor strain. In this study, backcrossing of these mice (termed obese mice) onto two different genetic backgrounds gave rise to lean, glucose-tolerant, insulin-sensitive mice (termed lean mice), indicating that at least one variant gene in the 129/Ola background, not present in the C57BL/6 or 129s2/sV background, is required for the development of the prediabetic phenotype of obese mice. Slightly elevated AMP-activated protein kinase α2 activity in the skeletal muscle of lean C57BL/6 mice was also observed to a lesser extent in the obese mice. Normal or slightly raised in vivo glucose transport in lean C57BL/6 mice compared with decreased glucose transport in the obese mice supports the tenet that adequate transport of glucose may be a key factor in preventing the development of the prediabetic phenotype. The pH 6.8/pH 8.6 activity ratio of phosphorylase kinase was increased in lean C57BL/6 mice compared with controls indicating that phosphorylase kinase is an in vivo substrate of PP1-GM.

PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) is a ubiquitously expressed serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatase whose activity towards different substrates appears to be mediated via binding to specific proteins that play critical regulatory and targeting roles. In the present paper we report the cloning and characterization of a new protein, termed SARP (several ankyrin repeat protein), which is shown to interact with all isoforms of PP1 by a variety of techniques. A region encompassing a consensus PP1-binding motif in SARP (K354VHF357) modulates endogenous SARP–PP1 activity in mammalian cells. This SARP–PP1 interaction motif lies partially within the first ankyrin repeat in contrast with other proteins [53BP2 (p53 binding protein 2), MYPT1/M110/MBS (myosin binding protein of PP1) and TIMAP (transforming growth factor β inhibited, membrane-associated protein)], where a PP1-binding motif precedes the ankyrin repeats. Alternative mRNA splicing produces several isoforms of SARP from a single human gene at locus 11q14. SARP1 and/or SARP2 (92–95 kDa) are ubiquitously expressed in all tissues with high levels in testis and sperm, where they are shown to interact with both PP1γ1 and PP1γ2. SARP3 (65 kDa) is most abundant in brain where SARP isoforms interact with both PP1α and PP1γ1. SARP is highly abundant in the nucleus of mammalian cells, consistent with the putative nuclear localization signal at the N-terminus. The presence of a leucine zipper near the C-terminus of SARP1 and SARP2, and the binding of mammalian DNA to SARP2, suggests that SARP1 and SARP2 may be transcription factors or DNA-associated proteins that modulate gene expression.
