Nuclear import of activated D-ERK by DIM-7, an importin family member encoded by the gene moleskin
Abstract
The initiation of gene expression in response to Drosophila receptor tyrosine kinase signaling requires the nuclear import of the MAP kinase, D-ERK. However, the molecular details of D-ERK translocation are largely unknown. In this regard, we have identified D-Importin-7 (DIM-7), the Drosophila homolog of vertebrate importin 7, and its gene moleskin. DIM-7 exhibits a dynamic nuclear localization pattern that overlaps the spatial and temporal profile of nuclear, activated D-ERK. Co-immunoprecipitation experiments show that DIM-7 associates with phosphorylated D-ERK in Drosophila S2 cells. Furthermore, moleskin mutations enhance hypomorphic and suppress hypermorphic D-ERK mutant phenotypes. Deletion or mutation of moleskin dramatically reduces the nuclear localization of activated D-ERK. Directly linking DIM-7 to its nuclear import, this defect can be rescued by the expression of wild-type DIM-7. Mutations in the Drosophila Importin beta homolog Ketel, also reduce the nuclear localization of activated D-ERK. Together, these data indicate that DIM-7 and Ketel are components of the nuclear import machinery for activated D-ERK.
