title: The intranuclear prolactin/cyclophilin B complex as a transcriptional inducer.
abstract: The nuclear translocation of peptide hormones, such as the somatolactogenic hormone prolactin, after receptor internalization has been widely reported. Prolactin has been demonstrated to interact with cyclophilin B, a member of the immunophilin family of proteins. Cyclophilin B interaction with prolactin potentiated prolactin-induced proliferation, cell growth, and the nuclear retrotransport of prolactin. These effects could be abrogated by the removal of the peptidyl-prolyl isomerase activity of cyclophilin B. Our findings indicate that the intranuclear prolactin/cyclophilin B complex acts as a transcriptional inducer by interacting directly with Stat5, resulting in the removal of the Stat-repressor protein inhibitor of activated Stat 3 (PIAS3), thereby enhancing Stat5 DNA-binding activity and prolactin-induced, Stat5-mediated gene expression.
