The cytoplasmic and nuclear protein Ki-1/57 was first identified in malignant cells from Hodgkin's lymphoma. Despite studies showing its phosphorylation, arginine methylation, and interaction with several regulatory proteins, the functional role of Ki-1/57 in human cells remains to be determined. Here, we investigated the relationship of Ki-1/57 with RNA functions. Through immunoprecipitation assays, we verified the association of Ki-1/57 with the endogenous splicing proteins hnRNPQ and SFRS9 in HeLa cell extracts. We also found that recombinant Ki-1/57 was able to bind to a poly-U RNA probe in electrophoretic mobility shift assays. In a classic splicing test, we showed that Ki-1/57 can modify the splicing site selection of the adenoviral E1A minigene in a dose-dependent manner. Further confocal and fluorescence microscopy analysis revealed the localization of enhanced green fluorescent proteinKi-1/57 to nuclear bodies involved in RNA processing and or small nuclear ribonucleoprotein assembly, depending on the cellular methylation status and its N-terminal region. In summary, our findings suggest that Ki-1/57 is probably involved in cellular events related to RNA functions, such as pre-mRNA splicing.

Ki-1/57 is a nuclear and cytoplasmic regulatory protein first identified in malignant cells from Hodgkin's lymphoma. It is involved in gene expression regulation on both transcriptional and mRNA metabolism levels. Ki-1/57 belongs to the family of intrinsically unstructured proteins and undergoes phosphorylation by PKC and methylation by PRMT1.

The RACK1 protein interacts with numerous proteins involved in signal transduction, the cytoskeleton, and mRNA splicing and translation. We used the 2-hybrid system to identify additional proteins interacting with RACK1 and isolated the RNA-binding protein SERBP1. SERPB1 shares amino acid sequence homology with HABP4 (also known as Ki-1/57), a component of the RNA spicing machinery that has been shown previously to interact with RACK1.

SNRIs (serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) have been proposed to exert increased therapeutic efficacy or be faster acting compared to commonly used antidepressants. In this study, we performed in vitro binding and uptake assays and in vivo behavioral tests to assess the pharmacological properties and antidepressant-like efficacy of the compound 071031B; we also performed cytotoxicity tests using HepG2 cells and SH-SY5Y cells to predict the toxicity of 071031B. In vitro, 071031B had high affinity for both serotonin transporters and norepinephrine transporters prepared from rat cortex tissue (Ki=2.

Ki-1/57 is a cytoplasmic and nuclear protein of 57 kDa first identified in malignant cells from Hodgkin's lymphoma. Based on yeast-two hybrid protein interaction we found out that Ki-1/57 interacts with adaptor protein RACK1 (receptor of activated kinase 1), CIRP (cold-inducible RNA-binding protein), RPL38 (ribosomal protein L38) and FXR1 (fragile X mental retardation-related protein 1). Since these proteins are involved in the regulation of translation we suspected that Ki-1/57 may have a role in it.
