摘要

The Armadillo protein p120ctn associates with the cytoplasmic domain of cadherins and accumulates at cell-cell junctions. Paraticular Armadillo proteins such as beta-catenin and plakophillins show a partly nuclear location, suggesting gene-regulatory actaivities. For different human E-cadhering-negative carcinoma cancer cell lines we found expression of endogenous p120ctn in at the nucleus. Expression of E-cadherin directed p120ctn out of the nucleus. Previously, we reported that the human p120ctn gene might encode up to 32 protein isoforms as products of alternative splicing. Overexpression of p120ctn isoforms B in various cell lines resulted in cytoplasmic immunopositivity but never in nuclear staining. In contrast, upon expression of p120ctn cDNAs lacking exon B, the isoforms were detectable within both nuclei and cytoplasm. A putative nuclear export signal (NES) with a characteristic leucine-rich motif is encoded by exon B. This sequence element was shown to be required for nuclear export and to function autonomously when fused to a carrier protein and microinjected into cell nuclei. Moreover , the NES function of endogenously or exogenously expressed p120ctn isoforms B was sensitive to the nuclear export inhibitor leptomycin B. Expression of exogenous E-cadherin down-regulated nuclear p120ctn whereas activation of protein kinase C increased the level of nuclear p120ctn. These results reveal molecular mechanisms controlling the subcellular distribution of p120ctn.
