Identification of a nuclear-specific cyclophilin which interacts with the proteinase inhibitor eglin c.


ABSTRACT: We have identified a novel human cyclophilin (hCyP-60) which interacts with the proteinase inhibitor eglin c using the yeast two-hybrid system. A cDNA isolated from a Raji B lymphocyte library reveals a domain showing sequence similarity to known cyclophilins flanked by unique N- and C-terminal residues. In addition, hCyP-60 contains a tyrosine residue (Tyr 389) instead of a tryptophan residue found in most eukaryotic cyclophilins at a position important for cyclosporin binding. Northern and Western analysis reveal widespread expression with considerable tissue-specific variation. Specifically, the highest levels of mRNA are detected in the thymus, pancreas, testis, and K-562 cell line, while the most protein is detected in the kidney. Immunohistochemistry indicates a nuclear-specific localization both in transfected cells and tissue sections. hCyP-60's specific subcellular localization and conserved amino acid sequence suggest that it may play a specific role in the nucleus.
