Table I. Rates of nuclear import of wild-type and mutant FKHR.
Mutation | Mean cytoplasmic concentration (arbitrary units) | Initial rate of import (U/min) |
---|---|---|
Wild type | 37 ± 3 | 0.20 ± 0.02 |
Thr24Ala | 28 ± 4 | 0.22 ± 0.05 |
Ser256Ala | 16 ± 1 | 0.24 ± 0.02 |
Ser319Ala | 28 ± 2 | 0.17 ± 0.03 |
Ser322Ala | 35 ± 4 | 0.12 ± 0.03 |
Ser329Ala | 34 ± 3 | 0.23 ± 0.04 |
Ser319Ala, Ser322Ala, Ser325Ala, Ser329Ala | 29 ± 4 | 0.17 ± 0.02 |
FKHR–GFP was transfected as described in the legend of Figure 8. After serum starvation for 2 h, and pre-incubation with leptomycin B (5 ng/ml) for 20 min, rates of nuclear import were determined in the presence of IGF-1 and 10% serum as described in Materials and methods.
