RS1, a gene product of RSC1A1, is critically involved in cell density-dependent transcriptional down-regulation of SGLT1 in LLC-PK1 cells and in the post-transcriptional down-regulation of SGLT1 in small intestine. RS1 inhibits the release of SGLT1 containing vesicles from the trans-Golgi network and migrates into the nucleus where it inhibits transcription of SGLT1. In the present work we identified a novel 21 amino acids-long nonconventional nuclear localization sequence (RS1 NLS) in porcine RS1 (pRS1) that is necessary and sufficient for nuclear targeting of pRS1. RS1 NLS is framed by two consensus sequences for phosphorylation which are responsible for confluence-dependent regulation of RS1 NLS: a casein kinase 2 (CK2) site in position 348 and a protein kinase C (PKC) site in position 370. Confluence-dependent nuclear targeting was observed with amino acids 342-374 (R-NLS-Reg). Mutation analysis suggested that nuclear targeting is blocked by phosphorylation of serine 370 (PKC) and that phosphorylation of serine 348 (CK2) prevents phosphorylation of serine 370. Because CK2 is down-regulated and PKC is up-regulated during confluence of LLC-PK1 cells, our data suggest that nuclear localization coordinates cell density-dependent changes in transcriptional and post-transcriptional inhibition of SGLT1 expression.
