Abstract
Male Ppp1cc knockout mice are infertile due to failure of spermatogenesis, thought to arise from a deficiency of the predominant testis isoform PPP1CC2. We hypothesize that substrates of the PPP1CC2 will be hyperphosphorylated in Ppp1cc mutant testes. Quantitative RT-PCR and histological data suggest a role for PPP1CC2 by 3 weeks of age in the testis. Comparative phosphoproteomic analysis identified 828 proteins phosphorylated in the 3 week mouse testis, and confidently assigned 1026 unique phosphorylation sites. Thirty-two peptides corresponding to 30 proteins were found to be more abundant in Ppp1cc mutant samples than in wild-type, representing candidate substrates of PPP1CC2.
