ATP-dependent release of glucocorticoid receptors from the nuclear matrix.

Abstract

Glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) have the capacity to shuttle between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments, sharing that trait with other steroid receptors and unrelated nuclear proteins of diverse function. Although nuclear import of steroid receptors, like that of nearly all other karyophilic proteins examined to date, requires ATP, there appear to be different energetic requirements for export of proteins, including steroid receptors, from nuclei. In an attempt to reveal which steps, if any, in the nuclear export pathway utilized by steroid receptors require ATP, we have used indirect immunofluorescence to visualize GRs within cells subjected to a reversible ATP depletion. Under conditions which lead to >95% depletion of cellular ATP levels within 90 min, GRs remain localized within nuclei and do not efflux into the cytoplasm. Under analogous conditions of ATP depletion, transfected progesterone receptors are also retained within nuclei. Importantly, GRs which accumulate within nuclei of ATP-depleted cells are distinguished from nuclear receptors in metabolically active cells by their resistance to in situ extraction with a hypotonic, detergent-containing buffer. GRs in ATP-depleted cells are not permanently trapped in this nuclear compartment, as nuclear receptors rapidly regain their capacity to be extracted upon restoration of cellular ATP, even in the absence of de novo protein synthesis. More extensive extraction of cells with high salt and detergent, coupled with DNase I digestion, established that a significant fraction of GRs in ATP-depleted cells are associated with an RNA-containing nuclear matrix. Quantitative Western blot (immunoblot) analysis confirmed the dramatic increase in GR binding to the nuclear matrix of ATP-depleted cells, while confocal microscopy revealed that GRs are bound to the matrix throughout all planes of the nucleus. ATP depletion does not lead to wholesale collapse of nuclear proteins onto the matrix, as the interaction of a subpopulation of simian virus 40 large tumor antigen with the nuclear matrix is not quantitatively altered in ATP-depleted Cos-1 cells. Nuclear GRs which are not bound to the nuclear matrix of metabolically active cells (i.e., a DNA-binding domain deletion mutant and a beta-galactosidase chimera possessing the GR nuclear localization signal sequence) are not recruited to the matrix upon depletion of cellular ATP. Thus, it appears that ATP depletion does not expose the GR to nuclear matrix interactions which are not normally encountered in cells but merely alters the dynamics of such interactions. The dynamic association of steroid receptors with the nuclear matrix may provide a mechanism which is utilized by these regulable transcription factors to facilitate their efficient scanning of the genome.
