SDS22 selectively recognizes and traps metal-deficient inactive PP1.

ABSTRACT: The metalloenzyme protein phosphatase 1 (PP1), which is responsible for ≥50% of all dephosphorylation reactions, is regulated by scores of regulatory proteins, including the highly conserved SDS22 protein. SDS22 has numerous diverse functions, surprisingly acting as both a PP1 inhibitor and as an activator. Here, we integrate cellular, biophysical, and crystallographic studies to address this conundrum. We discovered that SDS22 selectively binds a unique conformation of PP1 that contains a single metal (M2) at its active site, i.e., SDS22 traps metal-deficient inactive PP1. Furthermore, we showed that SDS22 dissociation is accompanied by a second metal (M1) being loaded into PP1, as free metal cannot dissociate the complex and M1-deficient mutants remain constitutively trapped by SDS22.
