Abstract
Objective: To investigate the latent nuclear localization sequence (NLS) OF STAT3. Methods: Clustal X (1.81) was used to alignment the DNA binding domain of the STAT family. According to structure characters, corresponding expression plasmids were constructed via oligonucleotides designed with gene tool software. Through in vitro transfection, images were observed with laser confocal microscopy. Results: homology positions of arginine and lysine were found in DNA binding domain of the stat family. The wild type-STAT3 proteins primarily localized in the cytoplasm and translocated into the nucleus after interleukin-6 stimulation. However, the truncated mutant of DSTAT3-GFP protein was exclusively expressed in the cytoplasm. Conclusion: The potential NLS in the DNA binding domain of STAT3 is exposed to nuclear importing receptor when cells are stinulated by cytokine, which promotes the translocation of STAT3 into nuclear.
