• Y2H used to identify potential cGKIa binding proteins.
– 2.5 x 106 clones from human activated T cell library
– Clone AL9 encoded the COOH terminal 181 amino acids of myosin
binding subunit of myosin phosphatase.  MBS is a 130 kD regulatory
subunit of PP1M that confers the specificity of PP1 for MLC and is the
site on PP1M that is regulated by rho kinase.
– The COOH terminal 181 amino acids of MBS includes a leucine zipper
domain.
