Abstract
tob is a member of an antiproliferative gene family that includes btg1, pc3/tis21/btg2, pc3b, ana/btg3, and tob2. Exogenous overexpression of the family proteins suppresses cell proliferation. These proteins participate in transcriptional regulation of several genes. Here, we show that Tob is a nuclear protein that is imported into the nucleus through a nuclear localization signal (NLS)-mediated mechanism. Mutation in the NLS sequence of Tob affects its nuclear localization and impairs antiproliferative activity. Additionally, Tob contains a nuclear export signal (NES). In oncogenic ErbB2-transformed cells, nuclear export of Tob is facilitated by NES-mediated mechanism, resulting in decrease of its antiproliferative activity. These results indicate that regulation of nuclear localization of Tob is important for its antiproliferative activity.
