Assembly of MYPT1 with PP1δ catalytic subunit is required for cytoplasmic/myofilament localization of MYPT1; expressed alone, MYPT1 accumulates in the nucleus, but co-expression with PP1 redirects it to the cytosol and myofilaments. The F38A PP1-binding mutant of MYPT1 remains nuclear even when PP1 is co-expressed. The MYPT1 C-terminus acts as an autoinhibitory domain for actin cytoskeleton reorganization. |

MYPT1(1-98) exhibits a two-domain structure in solution: residues 1–40 are intrinsically disordered with a 25%-populated transient α-helix, while residues 41–98 form a well-structured ankyrin-repeat domain. The transient α-helix becomes fully structured upon PP1 binding, indicating it is a key driver of MYPT1-PP1 holoenzyme formation. |
