A third form of protein phosphatase 1 has been identified in skeletal muscle which is distinct from the species composed of the catalytic subunit complexed to the glycogen-binding subunit (protein phosphatase 1G) or inhibitor-2 (protein phosphatase 1I). The third form has an apparent molecular mass of 110 kDa, is not immunoprecipitated by antibody prepared against the glycogen-binding subunit, does not interact with glycogen and is devoid of inhibitor-2. It is tightly bound to myosin and is therefore termed protein phosphatase 1M.

We have cloned a novel cDNA from human skeletal muscle which encodes a protein phosphatase with a unique acidic domain. It is 34% identical to mammalian PP2C alpha and PP2C beta and we call it PP2C gamma. It more closely resembles PP2Cs from Paramecium tetraurelia and Schizosaccharomyces pombe than mammalian PP2Cs. Northern blot analysis shows that PP2C gamma is widely expressed, and is most abundant in testis, skeletal muscle, and heart. Like known PP2Cs, recombinant PP2C gamma requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. Unlike any other known phosphatase, PP2C gamma has a highly acidic domain: 75% of the 54 residues are glutamate or aspartate.
