The caspase inhibitor and RING finger-containing protein c-IAP1 has been shown to be involved in both apoptosis inhibition and signaling by members of the TNF-receptor family. The protein is regulated transcriptionally, e.g. is a target for NF- B, and can be inhibited by mitochondrial proteins released in the cytoplasm upon apoptotic stimuli. The present study indicates that an additional level of regulation of c-IAP1 may be cell compartmentalization. The protein is present in the nucleus of undifferentiated U937 and THP1 monocytic cell lines. When these cells undergo differentiation under phorbol ester exposure, c-IAP1 translocates to the cytoplasmic side of the Golgi apparatus. This redistribution involves a nuclear-export signal (NES)-mediated, leptomycin B-sensitive mechanism. Using site-directed mutagenesis, we localized the functional NES motif in the CARD domain of c-IAP1. A nucleo-cytoplasmic redistribution of the protein was also observed in human monocytes as well as in tumor cells from epithelial origin when undergoing differentiation. c-IAP1 does not translocate from the nucleus of cells whose differentiation is blocked, i.e. in cell lines and monocytes from transgenic mice overexpressing Bcl-2 and in monocytes from patients with chronic myelomonocytic leukemia. Altogether, these observations associate c-IAP1 cellular location with cell differentiation, which opens new perspectives on the functions of the protein.
