タイトル Nuclear localization of barrier-to-autointegration factor is correlated with progression of S phase in human cells.
ジャーナル J Cell Sci
Abstract Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) is a conserved metazoan protein that plays a critical role in retrovirus infection. To elucidate its role in uninfected cells, we first examined the localization of BAF in both mortal and immortal or cancerous human cell lines. In mortal cell lines (e.g. TIG-1, WI-38 and IMR-90 cells) BAF localization depended on the age of the cell, localizing primarily in the nucleus of >90% of young proliferating cells but only 20-25% of aged senescent cells. In immortal cell lines (e.g. HeLa, SiHa and HT1080 cells) BAF showed heterogeneous localization between the nucleus and cytoplasm. This heterogeneity was lost when the cells were synchronized in S phase. In S-phase-synchronized populations, the percentage of cells with predominantly nuclear BAF increased from 30% (asynchronous controls) to approximately 80%. In HeLa cells, RNAi-induced downregulation of BAF significantly increased the proportion of early S-phase cells that retained high levels of cyclin D3 and cyclin E expression and slowed progression through early S phase. BAF downregulation also caused lamin A to mislocalize away from the nuclear envelope. These results indicate that BAF is required for the integrity of the nuclear lamina and normal progression of S phase in human cells.
