Abstract
Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) is a key enzyme for Plasmodium development. However, the detailed mechanisms underlying its regulation remain to be deciphered. Here, we report the functional characterization of the Plasmodium berghei leucine-rich repeat protein 1 (PbLRR1), an orthologue of SDS22, one of the most ancient and conserved PP1 interactors. Our study shows that PbLRR1 is expressed during intra-erythrocytic development of the parasite, and up to the zygote stage in mosquitoes. PbLRR1 can be found in complex with PbPP1 in both asexual and sexual stages and inhibits its phosphatase activity. Genetic analysis demonstrates that PbLRR1 depletion adversely affects the development of oocysts. PbLRR1 interactome analysis associated with phospho-proteomics studies identifies several novel putative PbLRR1/PbPP1 partners. Some of these partners have previously been characterized as essential for the parasite sexual development. Interestingly, and for the first time, Inhibitor 3 (I3), a well-known and direct interactant of Plasmodium PP1, was found to be drastically hypophosphorylated in PbLRR1-depleted parasites. These data, along with the detection of I3 with PP1 in the LRR1 interactome, strongly suggest that the phosphorylation status of PbI3 is under the control of the PP1-LRR1 complex and could contribute (in)directly to oocyst development. This study provides new insights into previously unrecognized PbPP1 fine regulation of Plasmodium oocyst development through its interaction with PbLRR1.

PPP1R7 Is a Novel Translocation Partner of CBFB via t(2;16)(q37;q22) in Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13081367.

Abstract
In a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases, the core binding factor beta subunit gene (CBFB) was rearranged via inv(16)(p13.1q22) or t(16;16)(p13.1;q22), in which the smooth muscle myosin heavy chain 11 gene (MYH11) was the partner (CBFB::MYH11). Rare variants of CBFB rearrangement occurring via non-classic chromosomal aberrations have been reported, such as t(1;16), t(2;16), t(3;16), t(5;16), and t(16;19), but the partners of CBFB have not been characterized. We report a case of AML with a complex karyotype, including t(2;16)(q37;q22), in which the protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 7 gene (PPP1R7) at chromosome 2q37 was rearranged with CBFB (CBFB::PPP1R7). This abnormality was inconspicuous by conventional karyotype and interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), thus leading to an initial interpretation of inv(16)(p13.1q22); however, metaphase FISH showed that the CBFB rearrangement involved chromosome 2. Using whole genome and Sanger sequencing, the breakpoints were identified as being located in intron 5 of CBFB and intron 7 of PPP1R7. A microhomology of CAG was found in the break and reconnection sites of CBFB and PPP1R7, thus supporting the formation of CBFB::PPP1R7 by microhomology-mediated end joining.

Abstract
Protein phosphatase 1 is a major Ser/Thr protein phosphatase activity in eukaryotic cells. It is composed of a catalytic polypeptide (PP1C), with little substrate specificity, that interacts with a large variety of proteins of diverse structure (regulatory subunits). The diversity of holoenzymes that can be formed explain the multiplicity of cellular functions under the control of this phosphatase. In quite a few cases, regulatory subunits have an inhibitory role, downregulating the activity of the phosphatase. In this chapter we shall introduce PP1C and review the most relevant families of PP1C regulatory subunits, with particular emphasis in describing the structural basis for their interaction.

Abstract
The serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) inhibitors PPP1R2, PPP1R7, and PPP1R11 are evolutionarily ancient and highly conserved proteins. Four PP1 isoforms, PP1α, PP1β, PP1γ1, and PP1γ2, exist; three of them except PP1γ2 are ubiquitous. The fact that PP1γ2 isoform is present only in mammalian testis and sperm led to the notion that isoform-specific regulators for PP1γ2 in sperm may be responsible for its function. In this report, we studied these inhibitors, PPP1R2, R7, and R11, to determine their spatial and temporal expression in testis and their regulatory functions in sperm. We show that, similar to PP1γ2, the three inhibitors are expressed at high levels in developing spermatogenic cells. However, the transcripts for the regulators are expressed as unique sizes in testis compared with somatic tissues. The three regulators share localization with PP1γ2 in the head and the principal piece of sperm. We show that the association of inhibitors to PP1γ2 changes during epididymal sperm maturation. In immotile caput epididymal sperm, PPP1R2 and PPP1R7 are not bound to PP1γ2, whereas in motile caudal sperm, all three inhibitors are bound as heterodimers or heterotrimers. In caudal sperm from male mice lacking sAC and glycogen synthase kinase 3, where motility and fertility are impaired, the association of PP1γ2 to the inhibitors resembles immature caput sperm. Changes in the association of the regulators with PP1γ2, due to their phosphorylation, are part of biochemical mechanisms responsible for the development of motility and fertilizing ability of sperm during their passage through the epididymis.

Abstract
ADA (alteration/deficiency in activation) 3 is a conserved component of several transcriptional adaptor and HAT (histone acetyltransferase) complexes that regulate RNA polymerase II-mediated gene expression. Within the HAT complexes ADA3 is associated with ADA2 and the HAT GCN5 (general control non-repressed 5). ADA3 plays roles in diverse cellular processes and also in malignancies by modulating GCN5 catalytic activity and/or by interactions with other regulators. To gain a better understanding of ADA3 function, we used a yeast two-hybrid approach to screen a human fetal cDNA library for proteins that interacted with hADA3 (human ADA3). We identified three novel hADA3-interacting partners, a transcriptional regulator, AATF (apoptosis-antagonizing transcription factor), and regulatory subunits of the PP1 (protein phosphatase 1) and PP2A (protein phosphatase 2A) [PPP1R7 (PP1 regulatory subunit 7) and PPP2R5D (PP2A 56 kDa regulatory subunit δ isoform) respectively]. Analysis of truncated versions of hADA3 indicated that the C-terminal ADA2-interacting domain was not required for these interactions. Fluorescent microscopy analysis and co-immunoprecipitation provided support for the co-localization and interaction of hADA3 with these proteins in human cells. Expression of the interacting proteins altered expression of an hADA3-regulated reporter gene, suggesting functional consequences for the interactions. The detected interactions of hADA3 might extend the spectrum of mechanisms by which ADA3 can contribute to the regulation of gene expression and shed light on processes mediated by these newly identified ADA3 partners.

Abstract
Although the huntingtin gene is expressed in brain throughout life, phenotypically Huntington's disease (HD) begins only in midlife and affects specific brain regions. Here, to investigate regional vulnerability in the disease, we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to translationally link studies in patients with a mouse model of disease. Using fMRI, we mapped cerebral blood volume (CBV) in three groups: HD patients, symptom-free carriers of the huntingtin genetic mutation, and age-matched controls. In contrast to a region in the anterior caudate, in which dysfunction was linked to genotype independent of phenotype, a region in the posterior body of the caudate was differentially associated with disease phenotype. Guided by these observations, we harvested regions from the anterior and posterior body of the caudate in postmortem control and HD human brain tissue. Gene-expression profiling identified two molecules whose expression levels were most strongly correlated with regional vulnerability - protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 7 (PPP1R7) and Wnt inhibitory factor-1 (WIF-1). To verify and potentially extend these findings, we turned to the YAC128 (C57BL/6J) HD transgenic mice. By fMRI we longitudinally mapped CBV in transgenic and wildtype (WT) mice, and over time, abnormally low fMRI signal emerged selectively in the dorsal striatum. A relatively unaffected brain region, primary somatosensory cortex (S1), was used as a control. Both dorsal striatum and S1 were harvested from transgenic and WT mice and molecular analysis confirmed that PPP1R7 deficiency was strongly correlated with the phenotype. Together, converging findings in human HD patients and this HD mouse model suggest a functional pattern of caudate vulnerability and that variation in expression levels of herein identified molecules correlate with this pattern of vulnerability.

Abstract
Mice lacking the protein phosphatase 1 gamma isoforms, PP1gamma1 and PP1gamma2, are male-sterile due to defective germ cell morphogenesis and apoptosis. However, this deficiency causes no obvious abnormality in other tissues. A biochemical approach was employed to learn how expression versus deficiency of PP1gamma2, the predominant PP1 isoform in male germ cells, affects spermatogenesis. Methods used in this study include column chromatography, western blot and northern blot analyses, GST pull-down assays, immunoprecipitation, non-denaturing gel electrophoresis, phosphatase enzyme assays, protein sequencing, and immunohistochemistry. We report for the first time that in wild-type testis, PP1gamma2 forms an inactive complex with actin, protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 7 (PPP1R7), and protein phosphatase 1 regulatory subunit 11 (PPP1R11), the latter, a potent PP1 inhibitor. Interestingly, PPP1R11 protein, but not its mRNA level, falls significantly in PP1gamma-null testis where mature sperm are virtually absent. Conversely, both mature sperm numbers and the PPP1R11 level increase substantially in PP1gamma-null testis expressing transgenic PP1gamma2. PPP1R11 also appears to be ubiquitinated in PP1gamma-null testis. The levels of PP1gamma2 and PPP1R11 were increased in phenotypically normal PP1alpha-null testis. However, in PP1alpha-null spleen, where PP1gamma2 normally is not expressed, PPP1R11 levels remained unchanged. Our data clearly show a direct reciprocal relationship between the levels of the protein phosphatase isoform PP1gamma2 and its regulator PPP1R11, and suggest that complex formation between these polypeptides in testis may prevent proteolysis of PPP1R11 and thus, germ cell apoptosis.

Abstract
We have characterized the Toxoplasma gondii protein phosphatase type 1 (TgPP1) and a potential regulatory binding protein belonging to the leucine-rich repeat protein family, designated TgLRR1. TgLRR1 is capable of binding to TgPP1 to inhibit its activity and to override a G(2)/M cell cycle checkpoint in Xenopus oocytes. In the parasite, TgLRR1 mRNA and protein are both highly expressed in the rapidly replicating and virulent tachyzoites, while only low levels are detected in the slowly dividing and quiescent bradyzoites. TgPP1 mRNA and protein levels are equally abundant in tachyzoites and bradyzoites. Affinity pull down and immunoprecipitation experiments reveal that the TgLRR1-TgPP1 interaction takes place in the nuclear subcompartment of tachyzoites. These results are consistent with those of localization studies using both indirect immunofluorescence with specific polyclonal antibody and transient transfection of T. gondii vector expressing TgLRR1 and TgPP1. The inability to obtain stable transgenic tachyzoites suggested that overexpression of TgLRR1 and TgPP1 may impair the parasite's growth. Together with the activation of Xenopus oocyte meiosis reinitiation, these data indicate that TgLRR1 protein could play a role in the regulation of the T. gondii cell cycle through the modulation of phosphatase activity.

Abstract
NOD2, a cytosolic receptor for the bacterial proteoglycan fragment muramyl dipeptide (MDP), plays an important role in the recognition of intracellular pathogens. Variants in the bacterial sensor domain of NOD2 are genetically associated with an increased risk for the development of Crohn disease, a human chronic inflammatory bowel disease. In the present study, global protein expression changes after MDP stimulation were analyzed by two-dimensional PAGE of total protein extracts of human cultured cells stably transfected with expression constructs encoding for wild type NOD2 (NOD2(WT)) or the disease-associated NOD2 L1007fsinsC (NOD2(SNP13)) variant. Differentially regulated proteins were identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) peptide mass fingerprinting and MALDI MS/MS. The limited overlap in the responses of the NOD2-overexpressing cell lines to MDP included a down-regulation of heat shock 70-kDa protein 4. A complex pro-inflammatory program regulated by NOD2(WT) that encompasses a regulation of key genes involved in protein folding, DNA repair, cellular redox homeostasis, and metabolism was observed both under normal growth conditions and after stimulation with MDP. By using the comparison of NOD2(WT) and disease-associated NOD2(SNP13) variant, we have identified a proteomic signature pattern that may further our understanding of the influence of genetic variations in the NOD2 gene in the pathophysiology of chronic inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
Infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy (INAD) is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary neurodegenerative disease of humans. So far, no responsible gene has been cloned or mapped to any chromosome. For chromosome mapping and positional cloning of the responsible gene, establishment of an animal model would be useful. Here we describe a new mouse model for INAD, named inad mouse. In this mouse, the phenotype is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, symptoms occur in the infantile period, and the mouse dies before sexual maturity. Axonal dystrophic change appearing as spheroid bodies in central and peripheral nervous system was observed. These features more closely resembled human INAD than did those of the gad mouse, the traditional mouse model for INAD. Linkage analysis linked the inad gene to mouse Chromosome 1, with the highest LOD score (=128.6) at the D1Mit45 marker, and haplotype study localized the inad gene to a 7.5-Mb region between D1Mit84 and D1Mit25. In this linkage area some 60 genes exist: Mutation of one of these 60 genes is likely responsible for the inad mouse phenotype. Our preliminary mutation analysis in 15 genes examining the nucleotide sequence of exons of these genes did not find any sequence difference between inad mouse and C57BL/6 mouse.

Abstract
Antipeptide antibodies generated against the N terminus of the protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) binding protein sds22 detected at least four forms of the protein in a rat liver nuclear extract. Four of these immunoreactive bands likely correspond to four predicted forms of sds22 that are generated by alternative splicing. These four proteins are expressed at different levels and appear to be localized exclusively in the nucleus, and two of these proteins copurify with PPI on the protein phosphatase affinity matrix microcystin-Sepharose. Two higher molecular mass nuclear proteins that are immunoreactive with the sds22 antibodies also copurify on microcystin-Sepharose and may be novel forms of sds22 expressed in mammalian cells.

Abstract
PASKIN is a novel mammalian serine/threonine kinase containing two PAS (Per-Arnt-Sim) domains. PASKIN is related to the Rhizobium oxygen sensor protein FixL and to AMP-regulated kinases. Like FixL, the sensory PAS domain of PASKIN controls the kinase activity by autophosphorylation in a (unknown) ligand-dependent manner. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the two PASKIN orthologues PSK1 and PSK2 phosphorylate three translation factors and two enzymes involved in glycogen synthesis, thereby coordinately regulating protein synthesis and glycolytic flux. To elucidate the function of mammalian PASKIN, we inactivated the mouse Paskin gene by homologous recombination in embryonic stem cells. Paskin(-/-) mice showed normal development, growth, and reproduction. The targeted integration of a lacZ reporter gene allowed the identification of the cell types expressing mouse PASKIN. Surprisingly, PASKIN expression is strongly upregulated in postmeiotic germ cells during spermatogenesis. However, fertility and sperm production and motility were not affected by the PASKIN knockout. The Ppp1r7 gene encoding Sds22, a regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1, shares the promoter region with the Paskin gene, pointing towards a common transcriptional regulation. Indeed, Sds22 colocalized with the cell types expressing PASKIN in vivo, suggesting a functional role of protein phosphatase-1 in the regulation of PASKIN autophosphorylation.

Abstract
Serine/threonine phosphatase PP1gamma2 is a testis-specific protein phosphatase isoform in spermatozoa. This enzyme appears to play a key role in motility initiation and stimulation. Catalytic activity of PP1gamma2 is higher in immotile compared with motile spermatozoa. Inhibition of PP1gamma2 activity causes both motility initiation and motility stimulation. Protein phosphatases, in general, are regulated by their binding proteins. The objective of this article is to understand the mechanisms by which PP1gamma2 is regulated, first by identifying its regulatory proteins. We had previously shown that a portion of bovine sperm PP1gamma2 is present in the cytosolic fraction of sperm sonicates. We purified PP1gamma2 from soluble bovine sperm extracts by immunoaffinity chromatography. Gel electrophoresis of the purified enzyme showed that it was complexed to a protein 43 M(r) x 10(-3) in size. Microsequencing revealed that this protein is a mammalian homologue of sds22, which is a yeast PP1 binding protein. Phosphatase activity measurements showed that PP1gamma2 complexed to sds22 is catalytically inactive. The complex cannot be activated by limited proteolysis. The complex is unable to bind to microcystin sepharose. This suggests that sds22 may block the microcystin binding site in PP1gamma2. A proportion of PP1gamma2 in sperm extracts, which is presumably not complexed to sds22, is catalytically active. Fluorescence immunocytochemistry was used to determine the intrasperm localization of PP1gamma2 and sds22. Both proteins are present in the tail. They are also present in distinct locations in the head. Our data suggest that PP1gamma2 binding to sds22 inhibits its catalytic activity. Mechanisms regulating sds22 binding to PP1gamma2 are likely to be important in understanding the biochemical basis underlying development and regulation of sperm function.

Abstract
The nucleus contains a large variety of protein phosphatases, which function in key processes such as cell-cycle progression, replication, transcription and RNA processing. Here, we review the pleiotropic action of nuclear protein phosphatases and focus in particular on the underlying signaling strategies. It appears that nuclear protein phosphatases can both mediate and antagonize signaling by protein kinases, sometimes as part of feedback loops. Some protein phosphatases shuttle between the cytoplasm and the nucleus, which enables them to act as signal transducers between both compartments. An emerging theme is the contribution of protein phosphatases to cycles of protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation that steer the assembly and firing of molecular machines in the nucleus.

Abstract
The PAS domain is a versatile protein fold found in many archaeal, bacterial, and plant proteins capable of sensing environmental changes in light intensity, oxygen concentration, and redox potentials. The oxygen sensor FixL from Rhizobium species contains a heme-bearing PAS domain and a histidine kinase domain that couples sensing to signaling. We identified a novel mammalian PAS protein (PASKIN) containing a domain architecture resembling FixL. PASKIN is encoded by an evolutionarily conserved single-copy gene which is ubiquitously expressed. The human PASKIN and mouse Paskin genes show a conserved intron-exon structure and share their promoter regions with another ubiquitously expressed gene that encodes a regulator of protein phosphatase-1. The 144-kDa PASKIN protein contains a PAS region homologous to the FixL PAS domain and a serine/threonine kinase domain which might be involved in signaling. Thus, PASKIN is likely to function as a mammalian PAS sensor protein.

Abstract
Two cDNAs sequences (1320 bp and 1180 bp) of the 55-kDa subunit associated with a testis-specific serine/threonine protein phosphatase 1gamma2 (PP1gamma2) were cloned. They were the same up to 1180 bp, suggesting that they may be generated by alternative splicing. Sequence studies showed that the 1320 bp-cDNA is a homolog of the human sds22alpha(1) (thus, named rat sds22alpha(1)). The 1180 bp-cDNA is a new splice-variant since its sequence at the 3' end has not been identified in human sds22 genes (named rat sds22alpha(3)). The 1320 bp-cDNA is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues including the immature testis. However, the expression of 1180 bp-cDNA was only observed in the testis after puberty. This expression pattern matches very well with that of PP1gamma2, suggesting that 1180 bp-cDNA may encode the 55-kDa subunit to associate with PP1gamma2 in rat testis and is involved in spermatogenesis by controlling PP1gamma2 activity.
