The results suggest that nuclear translocation of activated protein kinase subunits may represent an important link between hormonal stimuli and physiological responses in unstimulated interphase bovine epithelial cells.Abstract:
In unstimulated interphase bovine epithelial (MDBK) cells, both regulatory (R II) and catalytic (C) subunits of the type II enzyme of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (cAMP-dPK II) are associated with the Golgi complex. However, as demonstrated by indirect immunofluorescence microscopy, within 5 min after stimulation of adenylate cyclase by forskolin, the C subunit dissociates from the Golgi-associated R II and becomes diffusely distributed. With increasing time of forskolin treatment, C subunits accumulate in the nucleus, while R II subunits remain associated with the Golgi complex. The effect of forskolin is rapidly reversible in that C subunits begin to reassociate with the Golgi complex within a few minutes after drug removal. C subunit translocations similar to those produced by forskolin also occur after treatment of MDBK cells with dibutyryl-cAMP, confirming that the observed effects are most likely mediated by elevation of intracellular cAMP levels. These results suggest that nuclear translocation of activated protein kinase subunits may represent an important link between hormonal stimuli and physiological responses.read more

Cyclic AMP stimulates somatostatin gene transcription by phosphorylation of CREB at serine 133
TL;DR: Results suggest that phosphorylation of CREB may stimulate transcription by a mechanism other than by simply providing negative charge, as CREB mutants containing acidic residues in place of the Ser-133 phosphoacceptor were also transcriptionally inactive.

Nucleocytoplasmic Transport: The Soluble Phase

TL;DR: Directionality of either import or export depends on association between a substrate and its receptor on one side of the nuclear envelope and dissociation on the other, and the Ran GTPase is critical in generating this asymmetry.

Major nucleolar proteins shuttle between nucleus and cytoplasm
TL;DR: These unexpected results suggest a role for these major nucleolar proteins in the nucleocytoplasmic transport of ribosomal components and suggest that transient exposure of shuttling proteins to the cy toplasm may provide a mechanism for cytop lasmic regulation of nuclear activities.

TL;DR: Hormonal control of nuclear localization contributes to the modulation of glucocorticoid receptor transcriptional regulatory activity and is consistent with the rapid kinetics of hormone‐regulated transcription mediated by the receptor.
