Abstract
The identification of protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) holoenzyme substrates has proven to be a challenging task. PP1 can form different holoenzyme complexes with a variety of regulatory subunits, and many of those are cell cycle regulated. Although several methods have been used to identify PP1 substrates, their cell cycle specificity is still an unmet need. Here, we present a new strategy to investigate PP1 substrates throughout the cell cycle using clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)-Cas9 genome editing and generate cell lines with endogenously tagged PP1 regulatory subunit (regulatory interactor of protein phosphatase one, RIPPO). RIPPOs are tagged with the auxin-inducible degron (AID) or ascorbate peroxidase 2 (APEX2) modules, and PP1 substrate identification is conducted by SILAC proteomic-based approaches. Proteins in close proximity to RIPPOs are first identified through mass spectrometry (MS) analyses using the APEX2 system; then a list of differentially phosphorylated proteins upon RIPPOs rapid degradation (achieved via the AID system) is compiled via SILAC phospho–mass spectrometry. The “in silico” overlap between the two proteomes will be enriched for PP1 putative substrates. Several methods including fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), proximity ligation assays (PLA), and in vitro assays can be used as substrate validations approaches.
