摘要
Association of Caveolin-2 in the inner nuclear membrane specifically with A-type lamin is crucial for the maintenance of its Tyr-19 phosphorylation to promote insulin-response epigenetic activation at the nuclear periphery. Here, we identify that pY19-Caveolin-2 in the inner nuclear membrane exists as homo-oligomeric forms and the A-type lamin is required for sustenance of its oligomeric status. Oligomerization-defective and hence pY19-dephosphorylated monomeric Caveolin-2 in the inner nuclear membrane is unable to carry out Caveolin-2-mediated epigenetic activation of Egr-1 and JunB genes and transactivation of Elk-1 and STAT3 in response to insulin. The homo-oligomeric pY19-Caveolin-2 localizes in and recruits epigenetic modifiers to the A -type lamin-enriched inner nuclear membrane microdomain for the epigenetic activation. Our data show that A -type lamin-dependent Caveolin-2 homo-oligomerization in the inner nuclear membrane microdomain is a precondition for pY19-Caveolin-2-mediated insulin-response epigenetic activation at the nuclear periphery.
