Abstract:
Protein serine/threonine phosphatases are involved in regulation of diverse cellular functions. This review is devoted to a novel group of protein Ser/Thr phosphatases, rdgC/PP5, which has been recently discovered in animals, fungi, and plants. Their structure, location, and possible functions are discussed.
