Popis: Phosphofurin acidic cluster sorting protein 1 (PACS-1) is canonically a cytosolic trafficking protein, yet recent reports have described nuclear roles for PACS-1. Herein, we sought to define the nuclear transport mechanism of PACS-1. We demonstrate that PACS-1 nucleocytoplasmic trafficking is dependent on its interaction with the nuclear transport receptors importin alpha 5 and exportin 1. PACS-1 nuclear entry and exit are defined by a nuclear localization signal (NLS, residues 311-318) and nuclear export signal (NES3, residues 366-375). Mutation of the PACS-1 NLS and NES3 altered the localization of a complex formed between PACS-1 and an RNA-binding protein, polypyrimidine tract-binding protein 1. Overall, we identify the nuclear localization mechanism of PACS-1 and highlight a potential role for PACS-1 in RNA-binding protein trafficking.
