Introduction Since up to one third of all proteins in eukaryotes are regulated by reversible phosphorylation, it is not surprising that 23% of their genes encode protein kinases or protein phosphatases.(1) These enzymes are classified according to the conservation of their catalytic domain and their ability to (de)phosphorylate serine/threonine or tyrosine residues. In most eukaryotes studied, the number of protein tyrosine phosphatases approximates that of protein tyrosine kinases. In contrast, the protein serine/threonine kinases tend to outnumber the protein serine/ threonine phosphatases severalfold. The human genome, for instance, is predicted to encode well over 300 protein serine/ threonine kinases, but only about 20 protein serine/threonine phosphatases.(1) This relative under-representation may be accounted for by the alternative diversification strategy of some protein serine/threonine phosphatases, involving the evolution of interacting polypeptides rather than gene duplication and subsequent sequence diversification. This is most evident for the widely expressed and abundant protein serine/ threonine phosphatases of type-1 (PP1), which regulate such diverse processes as intermediate metabolism, mRNA splicing, transcription and apoptosis. PP1 holoenzymes consist of an exceptionally well-conserved catalytic subunit and one or two variable regulatory (R-) subunits that target the phosphatase to a particular cellular compartment and/or act as substrate specifiers (Fig. 1). For example, the glycogen-targetting subunits not only anchor PP1 to glycogen, but also bind the substrate glycogen synthase and furthermore increase the specific activity of the associated PP1 towards glycogen synthase.(2) To date, dozens of different R-subunits of PP1 have already been described and for some of them a function has already been delineated (Fig. 1, Table 1). The large number of PP1-specific families of R-subunits, combined with the availability of six (nearly) complete eukaryotic genomes, provides the molecular resolution required to trace the functional evolution and diversification of PP1. This analysis led us to propose that the acquisition of novel functions through the complexation with R-subunits underlied the emergence of the PP1 subfamily very early in eukaryotic evolution and continued throughout the further evolution of the mammalian lineage. Unexpectedly, our study also identified

nine mostly uncharacterised proteins as putative R-subunits of PP1, as judged from extensive sequence homology with known regulators. The catalytic subunit Together with most other protein serine/threonine phosphatases and the structurally related (eu)bacterial diadenosine tetraphosphatases, the type-1 protein phosphatases constitute a superfamily of phosphohydrolases that is represented in all three phylogenetic domains, i.e. (eu)bacteria, archaea and eukaryota.(3) Most prokaryotes manage without or with just a few of these phosphohydrolases,(4) but, in eukaryotes, the phosphohydrolase superfamily and, in particular, the serine/ threonine-specific phosphoprotein-phosphatase (PPP) family have flourished. Indeed, all the hitherto (nearly) completed metazoan, fungal and plant genomes harbour at least ten PPP-encoding genes. Further sequence analysis delineates distinct branches of highly conserved protein phosphatases within the eukaryotic PPP family, one of which unites the protein phosphatases of type-1. The genome of the earlybranching eukaryote Giardia lamblia(5) encodes a protein phosphatase that is still 72% identical to mammalian PP1
isoforms. Because Giardia lamblia and other diplomonads are thought to have separated from the main eukaryotic lineages shortly after the divergence of archaea and eukaryotes (Fig. 2), this suggests an early eukaryotic origin for the PP1 branch. The catalytic domains of eukaryotic members of the PPP family have about 40% of their residues in common, most of which contribute to the structural core and the catalytic center. Accordingly, these domains are expected to adopt a nearly identical three-dimensional structure and catalytic mechanism.(6) However, the residues that are common to all PPPs amount to only about half of the residues that are conserved among PP1 isoforms. The remainder of the (nearly) invariant residues constitutes the greater part of the unusually wellconserved protein surface of PP1, which mediates the interaction with the R-subunits. Accumulating evidence suggests that the catalytic subunit establishes multiple contacts with each of its R-subunits, although some interaction sites are shared by several R-subunits.(2) For example, a hydrophobic channel near the C terminus of PP1 can accommodate the [K/R]-X0-1-[V/I/L]-X-[F/W] motif that is present in most R-subunits and that is generally referred to as the RVXF-motif.

The R-subunits The current analysis is limited to families of vertebrate `primary' regulators of PP1 (Tables 1 and 2). Thus, we have excluded the `secondary' R-subunits, such as the NimArelated kinase 2, AKAP149, Bcl2 and the retinoblastoma protein, that did not originate as regulators of PP1 and only acquired binding sites for the catalytic subunit during their further evolution. R-subunits, like the G-substrate, Hox11, I1PP2A and I2PP2A, that do not specifically interact with PP1 are also excluded. For the comparison of related sequences, we used the BLAST family algorithms, including the PHI-BLAST and the PSI-BLAST programs.(7) Reported structural and functional features were taken into account to obtain an optimal sensitivity/specificity cut-off.
Four mammalian R-subunits of PP1 belong to families that originated before or during the divergence of the four supertaxa that constitute the eukaryotic crown (Fig. 2). Indeed, homologues of Sds22 and Inhibitor-3 have been identified in all
four supertaxa, and homologues of Inhibitor-2 and NIPP1 are present in at least three, and two of these supertaxa, respectively. Yeast Sds22 is required for the completion of mitosis, at least in part because of its involvement in the nuclear distribution of PP1.(8,9) Little is known about the function of Inhibitor-3, other than that it is an inhibitor of PP1 in vitro.(10) Considerable evidence suggests that Inhibitor-2 assists in the folding of newly synthesised PP1 but, at higher concentrations, Inhibitor-2 also acts as a negative regulator of the catalytic subunit.(11) NIPP1 targets PP1 to phosphorylated forms of the splicing factors Cdc5L(12) and SAP155 (our unpublished data), and is also a potent inhibitor of PP1.(13) As judged from northern and EST analysis, the genes that encode the ancient mammalian R-subunits, i.e. PPP1R7 (Sds22), PPP1R11 (Inhibitor-3), PPP1R2 (Inhibitor-2) and PPP1R8 (NIPP1), are expressed ubiquitously in humans. The human genome also harbours numerous loci that are related in sequence to PPP1R11, PPP1R2 or PPP1R8 (Table 3). However, these are likely to be processed pseudogenes because, unlike the genuine genes, they contain no introns

and most of them contain premature stop codons. Moreover, in contrast to the genuine genes, which are all represented by hundreds of ESTs, the putative pseudogenes match either no ESTs or at most a few ESTs that may well be derived from contaminating genomic fragments in cDNA libraries. Our analysis also suggests that a protein recently described as Inhibitor-4(14) is actually derived from a PPP1R2-related pseudogene (PPP1R2P9). As expected, many of the conserved sequence elements in the ancient mammalian R-subunits have been shown to be involved in the interaction with PP1 (Fig. 3A). Thus, all homologues of Inhibitor-3 and of NIPP1 contain an RVXF-motif that mediates their binding to PP1. However, docking of the RVXF-motif onto PP1 is not inhibitory in itself.(2) Consequently, additional interaction sites must be invoked to account for the inhibitory properties of these proteins. For instance, the in vitro inhibition of PP1 by Inhibitor-3 may require a conserved module that lies adjacent to the RVXF-domain (Fig. 3A). Likewise, for full inhibitory potency, NIPP1 depends on a universally conserved [Y/F]-N-T-X2-N-R motif and a polybasic stretch that precede the RVXF-motif (Fig. 3A), as well as a
C-terminal module that is only conserved among metazoans.(13,15) Interestingly, the inhibitory C-terminal module of NIPP1 also functions as an RNA-binding module.(13) In addition to PP1-binding sites, all members of the NIPP1 family contain an N-terminal FHA-domain that mediates the interaction with phosphorylated Cdc5L and SAP155. Remarkably, although both budding and fission yeast encode homologues of Cdc5L and SAP155, they lack a NIPP1 homologue. The absence of NIPP1 in yeast correlates with the loss of most of the TP-dipeptide motifs that are conserved in metazoan and plant homologues of Cdc5L and SAP155 and that are essential for the interaction with NIPP1 (Ref. 12 and our unpublished results). Collectively, these data suggest that fungi have given up on an ancient PP1-dependent mechanism for regulation of mRNA splicing. No less than five PP1 binding sites have been postulated for Inhibitor-2, a largely extended protein that is predicted to wrap around the catalytic subunit.(16) Strikingly, three of the implicated regions roughly coincide with universally conserved motifs (numbers 2, 3 and 4 in Fig. 3A) and a fourth binding site corresponds to a conserved stretch of acidic residues.

PP1-binding site corresponds to the [K/R]-[G/S]-I-L-K-motif that is conserved only among opisthokonts and amoebozoa. Remarkably, Inhibitor-2 contains no canonical RVXF-motif but a conserved R-[K/R]-X-H-Y-motif has been reported to interact with the hydrophobic RVXF-binding channel.(16) Sds22 and its homologues consist largely of leucine-rich repeats and a leucine-rich repeat cap that are predicted to fold into a curved superhelix.(17) A handful of conserved residues that are exposed at the concave side of the superhelix appear to be essential for the binding of PP1 (our unpublished results). Members of the Sds22 family lack a canonical RVXF-motif. Furthermore, disruption of the RVXF-binding channel of PP1 does not affect the interaction with Sds22.(18)
The storage of glucose-based polysaccharides as a reserve of energy is widespread but quite distinct enzymes have evolved
for their synthesis. Thus, the closely related UDP-glucosespecific glycogen synthases from opisthokonts and amoebozoa bear no similarity to vegetal starch synthases and bacterial glycogen synthases, which prefer ADP-glucose as a substrate. Before the fungal/metazoan divergence, a mechanism evolved for regulation of UDP-glucose-specific glycogen synthases by reversible phosphorylation. Indeed, both in yeast and in mammals, glycogen synthase is inactivated by phosphorylation and re-activated by PP1. Glycogen-targetting subunits (G-subunits) direct PP1 to glycogen and increase its specific activity towards glycogen synthase. Remarkably, humans can boast no less than seven genes that encode G-subunits (Table 1). Northern(19) and/or EST analysis indicate that the expression of PPP1R3A is restricted to striated muscle, whereas PPP1R3B through F are expressed ubiquitously, albeit at variable levels. These genes are all represented by numerous ESTs, but only a single EST

matches PPP1R3G. Yet, we believe that PPP1R3G is a genuine gene because, in contrast to the processed pseudogenes described in the previous section, it shows no significant similarity to any other human gene at the nucleotide level and it is conserved in mice. All G-subunits share a canonical RVXF-motif for interaction with PP1 as well as a targetting module with motifs for binding to glycogen and glycogen synthase (Fig. 3B and Ref. 20). Based on a proposed distant relationship with a family of glycoside hydrolases and glycosyl-transferases, this targetting module was predicted to fold into a b-sandwich.(21) Some G-subunits combine the RVXF-motif and the targetting module with specific C-terminal modules, such as the putative sarcoplasmic reticulum-binding module of RGl/GM and the allosteric binding site for phosphorylase-a in GL (reviewed in Ref. 2).
Comparison of the completed genomes of man, Drosophila melanogaster and Caenorhabditis elegans with those of fungi and Arabidopsis thaliana indicates that at least seven new families of PP1 regulators emerge in metazoans before the divergence of the bilateria (Fig. 2). This observation hints at a pronounced functional diversification of PP1 during the transformation of a unicellular proto-metazoon into the complex animal that is believed to be the common ancestor of all
Actin-associated regulators of PP1. These belong to three metazoan families of R-subunits, i.e. the neurabin family, the Mypt family and the PHI family (Table 1; Fig. 3C). The neurabin family unites a number of PP1-binding proteins that link integral membrane proteins to the subcortical actin cytoskeleton at cellcell adhesion sites. They have been implicated in the formation of dendritic spines(23) and in morphogenesis.(24) The myosin-phosphatase targetting (Mypt) subunits come in large and small isoforms.(25) Heterodimers that consist of a large and a small Mypt tether PP1 to class-II myosin and promote the dephosphorylation of the myosin regulatory light chain, thereby causing relaxation of the actomyosin fibers. Although myosin-II based actomyosin is involved in cytokinesis in all opisthokonts, Mypt subunits occur only in metazoans. Thus, their emergence roughly coincides with the acquirement of a novel function for these actomyosin fibers. Indeed, the actin cytoskeleton at cellcell and cell matrix adhesion sites in metazoans is reinforced by tensile and contractile stress fibers that contribute to the shape of cells. Interestingly, two other proteins that are associated with the subcortical actin cytoskeleton at cellcell adhesion sites, adducin and moesin, were also found to be substrates of Mypt-associated PP1.(26,27) It is currently believed that the contractile apparatus of metazoan striated and vertebrate smooth muscles evolved independently from myosin-II based actomyosin fibres of non-muscle cells.(28) Therefore, it comes as no surprise that striated and smooth muscles have inherited the PP1-dependent mechanism for downregulation of myosin contractility from their non-muscle ancestors. The activity of Mypt-PP1 complexes is tightly regulated, not only by reversible phosphorylation of their regulatory module, but also by members of the PHI family of phosphatase holoenzyme inhibitors, such as PHI and the closely related CPI-17.(29) These become potent inhibitors of Mypt-associated PP1 and possibly also of other PP1 holoenzymes after phosphorylation on a conserved threonine. Expression of the neurabin-encoding PPP1R9A and PPP1R9B genes is most pronounced in neural tissues, but occurs also to a limited extent in various other tissues. All Myptencoding genes (PPP1R12A, PPP1R12B and PPP1R12C) are ubiquitously expressed and give rise to large (85 to 130 kDa) Mypt subunits. In addition, small Mypt isoforms (about 20 kDa) are derived from PPP1R12B by alternative splicing. Four genes, PPP1R14A, PPP1R14B, PPP1R14C and PPP1R14D, encode members of the PHI family. PPP1R14A, PPP1R14B(29) and PPP1R14C have a broad expression pattern, but the product of PPP1R14A, CPI-17, is

enriched in smooth muscle. The available data did not allow us to appreciate the expression of PPP1R14D. The neurabins are characterised by an N-terminal F-actinbinding module, a PDZ-domain fused to an RVXF-motif, a coiled-coil domain and a SAM motif (Fig. 3C). PDZ-domains are protein interaction modules that often bind to the cytosolic C terminus of transmembrane proteins,(30) whereas SAMmotifs and coiled-coil domains act as homo- or heterooligomerising modules and may, consequently, account for the reported oligomerisation of neurabin-I.(31) In addition to an RVXF-motif that is essential for the interaction with PP1,(32) the large Mypt subunits contain a second PP1 interaction site, possibly corresponding to the conserved N-terminal [E/D]-QL-[K/R]-X-W-motif (Fig. 3C). The RVXF-motif is flanked Cterminally by an array of eight, often degenerate ankyrin repeats, which are thought to contain a third interaction site for PP1. Large Mypt subunits also contain a central regulatory
module that inhibits the associated PP1 when phosphorylated.(25) The C terminus of both the large and small Mypt subunits encompasses a myosin-binding module and a module for dimerisation of large and small Mypt subunits. After complexation with a large Mypt, the hydrophobic RVXFbinding channel of PP1 is already occupied. Hence, additional binding of one of the members of the PHI family cannot be mediated by an RVXF-motif. Accordingly, the PHI proteins lack an RVXF-motif. Instead, they largely consist of a single conserved module that includes the essential phosphorylatable threonine.

Other metazoan regulators of PP1. Little is known about the function of two additional families of R-subunits that appear at this stage of evolution, the TIMAP and the PNUTS families. Like the Mypt subunits, the members of the TIMAP family share an array of eight (degenerate) ankyrin repeats adjacent to an RVXF-motif. On the basis of this similarity, one of the two human representatives of the TIMAP family has been described as Mypt3.(41) However, unlike the members 378 BioEssays 24.4
The explosive increase during pre-bilaterian metazoan evolution in the number of protein families that regulate PP1 apparently slowed down in the lineage that gave rise to the vertebrates (Fig. 2). The only known family of primary R-subunits that is unique to this lineage includes inhibitor-1 and its homologues (Table 1). Inhibitor-1 and DARPP-32 function as switch proteins that can turn off the activity of PP1 in response to phosphorylation on a conserved threonine by cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA). Conversely, their dephosphorylation by the Ca2/calmodulin-dependent protein phosphatase PP2B re-activates the associated PP1. Thus, cAMP and Ca2-agonists regulate a pool of PP1 that is associated with Inhibitor-1 or DARPP-32, which in turn modulates transmembrane ion currents by controlling the dephosphorylation state of ion pumps and channels.(44,45) The appearance of the Inhibitor-1 family fits in nicely with the development of multiple regulatory interactions between PKA and PP1 in the vertebrate lineage. Indeed, several vertebrate PKA-anchoring proteins, such as AKAP149, AKAP220 and Yotiao also bind PP1. Furthermore, a number of the more ancient primary R-subunits of PP1 (NIPP1, the muscle-type G-subunit and Neurabin-I) have acquired regulatory phosphorylation sites for PKA after the divergence of the bilateria.(2)
