Most interactors of protein phosphatase-1 (PP1) contain a variant of a so-called RVXF sequence that binds to a hydrophobic groove of the catalytic subunit. A combination of sequence alignments and site-directed mutagenesis has enabled us to further define the consensus sequence for this degenerate motif as [RK]-X0-1-[VI]-{P}[ FW], where X denotes any residue and {P} any residue except Pro. Naturally occurring RVXF sequences differ in their affinity for PP1, and we show by swapping experiments that this binding affinity is an important determinant of the inhibitory potency of the regulators NIPP1 and inhibitor-1. Also, inhibition by NIPP1-(143 224) was retained when the RVXF motif ( plus the preceding Ser) was swapped for either of two unrelated PP1-binding sequences from human inhibitor-2, i.e. KGILK or RKLHY. Conversely, the KGILK motif of inhibitor-2 could be functionally replaced by the RVXF motif of NIPP1. Our data provide additional evidence for the view that the RVXF and KGILK motifs function as anchors for PP1 and thereby promote the interaction of secondary binding sites that determine the activity and substrate specificity of the enzyme.
