Control over the nuclear import of transcription
factors (TFs) represents a level of gene regulation integral to
cellular processes such as differentiation and transformation. The
Drosophila TF Dorsal shares with other rel TF
family members the fact that it contains a phosphorylation site for the
cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) 22 amino acids
N-terminal to the nuclear localization signal (NLS) at amino acids
335-340. This study examines for the first time the nuclear import
kinetics of Dorsal fusion proteins in rat hepatoma cells in
vivo and in vitro. Nuclear uptake was found to be not
only NLS-dependent, but also strongly dependent on the PKA
site, whereby substitution of Ser312 by either Ala or Glu
using site-directed mutagenesis severely reduced nuclear accumulation.
Exogenous cAMP or PKA catalytic subunit significantly enhanced the
nuclear import of wild-type proteins both in vivo and
in vitro. Using a direct binding assay, the molecular basis
of PKA site enhancement of Dorsal fusion protein nuclear import was
determined to be PKA site-mediated modulation of NLS recognition by the
importin 58/97 complex. The physiological relevance of these results is
supported by the observation that Drosophila embryos
expressing PKA site Dorsal mutant variants were impaired in
development. We conclude that the Dorsal NLS and PKA site constitute a
phosphorylation-regulated NLS essential to Dorsal function and able to
function in heterologous mammalian cell systems, where phosphorylation
modulates the affinity of NLS recognition by importin.
