چکیده

Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of signaling molecules is crucial for regulating their activity. Regulation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) is critical for normal physiology while STAT3 dysregulation underlies many diseases such as cancer. However, the mechanism(s) underlying STAT3 nuclear egress remains unclear. Here, we show that exportin 7 is critical for STAT3 nuclear egress. Lysine acetylation at K685, frequently found in tumors and tumor cell lines, mediates STAT3 engagement with exportin 7. Blocking acetylation through drug administration or mutation of lysine K685 disrupted STAT3’s physical interaction with exportin 7, leading to STAT3 nuclear retention. Inhibition of STAT3 lysine acetylation significantly altered the functional localization of exportin 7 from the cell cytoplasm toward the nucleus which can be reversed by treating tumor with a lysine-acetylated peptide spanning STAT3 K685. Taken together, our results have identified exportin 7 as an essential karyopherin for STAT3 nucleocytoplasmic shuttling.

LIF- and IL-6-induced acetylation of STAT3 at Lys-685 through PI3K/Akt activation.

Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), which mediates biological actions in many physiological processes, is activated by cytokines and growth factors via specific tyrosine or serine phosphorylation, dimerization and nuclear translocation. A recent study has demonstrated, by using antibody to acetylated lysine, and a STAT3 mutant with Lys-685-to-Arg substitution, that STAT3...

Acetylation and activation of STAT3 mediated by nuclear translocation of CD44

Expression of the type I transmembrane glycoprotein CD44 has recently been recognized as a signature for cancer stem cells. In this study, we demonstrate that CD44, once engaged, is internalized and translocated to the nucleus, where it binds to various promoters, including that of cyclin D1, leading to cell fate change through transcriptional reprogramming. In regulating cyclin D1 expression, ...

RATIONALE Mitochondria are important cellular organelles and play essential roles in maintaining cell structure and function. Emerging evidence indicates that in addition to having proinflammatory and proapoptotic effects, TNFα (tumor necrosis factor α) can, under certain circumstances, promote improvements in mitochondrial integrity and function, phenomena that can be ascribed to the existence...

Regulation of intermediary metabolism by protein acetylation.

Extensive studies during the past four decades have identified important roles for lysine acetylation in the regulation of nuclear transcription. Recent proteomic analyses on protein acetylation uncovered a large number of acetylated proteins in the cytoplasm and mitochondria, including most enzymes involved in intermediate metabolism. Acetylation regulates metabolic enzymes by multiple mechani...

is a member of the STAT protein family, and is mainly activated by the interleukin (IL)-6 family of cytokines, interferons, epidermal growth factor and leptin. Similar to other members of the STAT family, upon cytokine stimulation, STAT3 is tyrosine-phosphorylated at Tyr-705 by Janus kinases (Jaks), and is subsequently dimerized and translocated to the nucleus to activate its target genes. STAT...
