Popis: YB-1 is a multifunctional DNA- and RNA-binding protein involved in cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. YB-1 is a predominantly cytoplasmic protein that is transported to the nucleus in certain conditions, including DNA-damaging stress, transcription inhibition, and viral infection. In tumors, YB-1 nuclear localization correlates with high aggressiveness, multidrug resistance, and a poor prognosis. It is known that posttranslational modifications can regulate the nuclear translocation of YB-1. In particular, well-studied phosphorylation at serine 102 (S102) activates YB-1 nuclear import. Here, we report that Akt kinase phosphorylates YB-1 in vitro at serine 209 (S209), which is located in the vicinity of the YB-1 nuclear localization signal. Using phosphomimetic substitutions, we showed that S209 phosphorylation inhibits YB-1 nuclear translocation and prevents p-S102-mediated YB-1 nuclear import.
