RRP1B targets PP1 to mammalian cell nucleoli and is associated with Pre-60S ribosomal subunits.

ABSTRACT: A pool of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) accumulates within nucleoli and accounts for a large fraction of the serine/threonine protein phosphatase activity in this subnuclear structure. Using a combination of fluorescence imaging with quantitative proteomics, we mapped the subnuclear localization of the three mammalian PP1 isoforms stably expressed as GFP-fusions in live cells and identified RRP1B as a novel nucleolar targeting subunit that shows a specificity for PP1β and PP1γ. RRP1B, one of two mammalian orthologues of the yeast Rrp1p protein, shows an RNAse-dependent localization to the granular component of the nucleolus and distributes in a similar manner throughout the cell cycle to proteins involved in later steps of rRNA processing. Quantitative proteomic analysis of complexes contain
