    Abstract

    Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) -4, -5, -7 and -9 undergo signal-dependent nuclear export upon phosphorylation of conserved serine residues that are targets for 14-3-3 binding. Little is known of other mechanisms for regulating the subcellular distribution of class IIa HDACs. Using a biochemical purification strategy, we identified protein kinase C-related kinase-2 (PRK2) as an HDAC5-interacting protein. PRK2 and the related kinase, PRK1, phosphorylate HDAC5 at a threonine residue (Thr-292) positioned within the nuclear localization signal (NLS) of the protein. HDAC7 and HDAC9 contain analogous sites that are phosphorylated by PRK, while HDAC4 harbors a non-phosphorylatable alanine residue at this position. We provide evidence to suggest that the unique phospho-acceptor cooperates with the 14-3-3 target sites to impair HDAC nuclear import.
