简介：Kr眉p像像素的因素8(KLF8)抄写因素在房间周期前进起一个关键作用，oncogenic转变，对间充质的转变和侵略上皮。然而，它的原子本地化信号(NLS)没被识别。有另外的KLFmonopartiteNLS(mNLS)和C2H2锌手指(ZF)的KLF8份额，哪个被显示了是为一些另外的KLF的NLS。在这份报告，用指导PCR的mutagenesis和immunofluorescent显微镜学，我们显示出mNLSs，任何单个ZF的删除，或变化的那混乱Zn2+有约束力或联系DNA主题没影响KLF8的原子本地化。删除>然而，从C终点的1.5ZF引起了KLF8的细胞质的累积。令人惊讶地，氨基酸(aa)的删除151-200区域几乎从原子核消除了KLF8。有PKC禁止者的S165A，K171E或K171R变化，或处理导致了部分细胞质的累积。Co-immunoprecipitation证明KLF8与importin-交往了，这个相互作用要求了ZF主题。aa1-150或201-261区域的删除独自没改变原子本地化。BrdU加入和cyclinD1倡导者酶试金作为野类型的KLF8证明在原子本地化的KLF8异种有缺陷者不能支持DNA合成或cyclinD1倡导者激活。一起拿，这些结果建议KLF8有二NLS，一包围S165和K171并且另外的是二双人脚踏车ZF，它为KLF8原子本地化和它的细胞的功能的规定是批评的。
