Background: Protein phosphatase one ( PPI) is a ubiquitously expressed, highly conserved protein phosphatase that dephosphorylates target protein serine and threonine residues. PPI is localized to its site of action by interacting with targeting or regulatory proteins, a majority of which contains a primary docking site referred to as the RVXF/W motif. Results: We demonstrate that a peptide based on the RVXF/W motif can effectively displace PPI bound proteins from PPI retained on the phosphatase affinity matrix microcystin-Sepharose. Subsequent co-immunoprecipitation experiments confirmed that each identified binding protein was either a direct PPI interactor or was in a complex that contains PPI. Our results have linked PPI to numerous new nuclear functions and proteins, including Ki-67, Rif-I, topoisomerase II alpha, several nuclear helicases, NUP153 and the TRRAP complex. Conclusion: This modification of the microcystin-Sepharose technique offers an effective means of purifying novel PPI regulatory subunits and associated proteins and provides a simple method to uncover a link between PPI and additional cellular processes.
