چکیده

Follistatin (FST) and FST-like-3 (FSTL3) are structurally related proteins that bind and neutralize activin and closely related members of the TGFbeta superfamily. Three FST isoforms (FST288, FST303, and FST315) are produced from the Fst gene that are primarily secreted proteins. FSTL3 is secreted, but is also observed within the nucleus of most cells. We used pulse-chase (35)S labeling to examine the biosynthetic and intracellular transport patterns that lead to differential secretion and intracellular retention of these proteins. Among the FST isoforms, FST315 was secreted fastest and FST288 was secreted more slowly, with some remaining intracellular. In contrast, FSTL3 was secreted the slowest, with newly synthesized proteins being both secreted and trafficked to the nucleus. This nuclear FSTL3 was N-glycosylated, although not to the same degree as secreted FSTL3. Both FST and FSTL3 have two Mets in their signal sequence. Mutation of the first Met in FST288 eliminated protein translation, whereas FSTL3 could be translated from either Met. However, although FSTL3 translated from the second Met, which had no signal sequence, was confined to the nucleus, it was not glycosylated. Interestingly, this FSTL3 retained activin-antagonizing activity. Thus, although bioactive, nuclear FSTL3 can be translated from the second Met when the first Met is mutated, the glycosylated nuclear FSTL3 produced endogenously indicates that a different mechanism must be used under natural conditions that apparently includes N-glycosylation. Moreover, the differential biosynthetic and intracellular transport patterns for FST288 and FSTL3 suggest that these two activin-binding proteins may have distinct intracellular roles.

Biological activity of follistatin isoforms and follistatin-like-3 is dependent on differential cell surface binding and specificity for activin, myostatin, and bone morphogenetic proteins.

Follistatin (FST) and FST-like-3 (FSTL3) are activin-binding and neutralization proteins that also bind myostatin. Three FST isoforms have been described that differ in tissue distribution and cell-surface binding activity, suggesting that the FST isoforms and FSTL3 may have some nonoverlapping biological actions. We produced recombinant FST isoforms and FSTL3 and compared their biochemical and...

Follistatin-mediated skeletal muscle hypertrophy is regulated by Smad3 and mTOR independently of myostatin

Follistatin is essential for skeletal muscle development and growth, but the intracellular signaling networks that regulate follistatin-mediated effects are not well defined. We show here that the administration of an adeno-associated viral vector expressing follistatin-288aa (rAAV6:Fst-288) markedly increased muscle mass and force-producing capacity concomitant with increased protein synthesis...
