  abstract  = {Upon stimulation of cells with interleukin-1 (IL-1) the IL-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1RI) associated kinase-1 (IRAK- 1) transiently associates to and dissociates front the IL-IRI and thereafter translocates into the nucleus. Here we show that nuclear translocation of IRAK-I depends on its kinase activity since translocation was not observed in EL-4 cells overexpressing a kinase negative IRAK-1 mutant (EL-4(IRAK-1-K239S)). IRAK-1 itself, an endogenous substrate with an apparent molecular weight of 24 kDa (p24). and exogenous substrates like histone and myelin basic protein are phosphorylated by nuclear located IRAK-1. Phosphorylation of p24 cannot be detected in EL-4(IRAK-1-K239S) cells. IL-1- dependent recruitment of IRAK-1 to the IL-1RI and subsequent phosphorylation of IRAK-l is a prerequisite for nuclear translocation of IRAK-1. It is therefore concluded that intracellular localization of IRAK-1 depends on its kinase activity and that IRAK-1 may also function as a kinase in the nucleus as shown by a new putative endogenous substrate.
