Myristoylation of pp60src is required for its membrane attachment and transforming activity. The mouse monoclonal antibody, mAb327, which recognizes both normal, myristoylated pp60c-src and a nonmyristoylated mutant, pp60c-src/myr-, has been used to compare the effects of preventing myristoylation on the localization of c-Src in NIH 3T3-derived overexpresser cells using immunofluorescence microscopy. During interphase, pp60c-src partitions between the plasma membrane and the centrosome, while pp60c-src/myr- is predominantly cytoplasmic but also partly nuclear. The cytoplasmic, but not the nuclear, staining can be readily washed out by brief pretritonization of the cells before fixation, indicating that the cytoplasmic pool of pp60c-src/myr-, in contrast with the nuclear one, does not associate tightly with structures that are insoluble in the presence of nonionic detergents. We have previously shown that during G2 phase, pp60c-src leaves the plasma membrane and is redistributed diffusely throughout the cytoplasm and to two clusters of patches surrounding the two separating centriole pairs. In contrast, we now find that pp60c-src/myr- translocates to the nucleus in late G2 or early prophase prior to there being any clear evidence of nuclear membrane breakdown or nuclear lamina disassembly. Similar nuclear translocation of pp60c-src/myr-, but not of pp60c-src, is also observed when cells are arrested in G0 or at the G1/S transition. Furthermore, during mitosis, pp60c-src is found primarily in diffuse and patchy structures dispersed throughout the cytoplasm while pp60c-src/myr- more specifically associates with the main components of the spindle apparatus (poles and fibers) and inside the interchromosomal space. These results suggest that a possible role for myristoylation might be to prevent unregulated nuclear transport of proteins whose nonmyristoylated counterparts are readily moved into the nucleus. They also raise the possibility that a subfraction of wild-type pp60c-src may behave, at specific times, like its nonmyristoylated counterpart, and may translocate to the nucleus and exert specific functions in that location.
