Overexpression of the Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factor ECT2 inhibits nuclear translocation of nuclear receptor CAR in the mouse liver. Abstract Text:
Various drugs such as phenobarbital (PB) trigger translocation of constitutive active/adrostane receptor (CAR) from the cytoplasm into the nucleus of mouse liver cells without directly binding to the receptor. We have now characterized the guanine nucleotide exchange factor epithelial cell-transforming gene 2 (ECT2) as a PB-inducible factor as well as a cellular signal that represses PB-triggered nuclear translocation of CAR. When CFP-tagged ECT2 was co-expressed with YFP-tagged CAR in the liver of Car(-/-) mice, ECT2 repressed CAR nuclear translocation. Coexpression of various deletion mutants delineated this repressive activity to the tandem Dbl homology/pleckstrin homology domains of ECT2 and to their cytosolic expression. CAR directly bound to the PH domain. Thus, ECT2 may comprise a part of the PB response signal regulating the intracellular trafficking of CAR.
