    basic FUNCTION
  • type 1 serine/threonine specific protein phosphatase inhibitor, involved in a late step of spliceosome assembly
  • playing a role as a DNA-targeting protein for EED and associated chromatin-modifying enzymes
  • nuclear scaffold protein implicated in both transcription and RNA processing
  • playing an indispensable role for early embryonic development and cell proliferation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    RNA catabolism (RNA turnover)
    a component
  • inhibitor subunit of the major nuclear protein phosphatase-1 (pp.1)
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding, cofactor,
  • Mg2+
  • protein
  • interacting with PP1
  • interacting with the splicing factors SAP155 and CDC5L
  • NIPP1-EED interaction potentiated by the binding of (d)G-rich nucleic acids to the central domain of PPP1R8
  • promotes SF3B1 dephosphorylation (specifically recognizes hyperphosphorylated SF3B1 thorough its Forkhead-associated domain and dissociates from SF3B1 after dephosphorylation by associated protein phosphatase-1)
  • associates with a subset of PcG (Polycomb group) targets in a PP1-dependent manner and thereby contributes to the recruitment of the PRC2 complex
