PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	N-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS) implicated in the stimulation of DNA synthesis
	two nuclear localization signals required for transport from the cytosol to the nucleus of externally added FGF-1 translocated into cells
	a second putative NLS (NLS2), near the C-terminus,(a bipartite NLS consisting of two clusters of lysines separated by a spacer of 10 amino acids)
	a IL1B-like domain
	implication of FGF1 C-terminal domain on its intracellular activities

HOMOLOGY

interspecies	homolog to murine Fgf1 (95.5pc)
	homolog to rattus Fgf1 (95.5pc)

Homologene

FAMILY	heparin-binding growth factors family
	fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family

CATEGORY

protooncogene , signaling growth factor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleolus
text	phosphorylation occurs normally in the nucleus, and both NLS1 and NLS2 are important for efficient transport to the nucleus
	under stress, FGF1 and S100A13 colocalize at the plasma membrane
	upon stress, FGF1 is transported to the plasma membrane where it localizes prior to transmembrane translocation

basic FUNCTION	heparin binding growth factor
	functioning as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor and mitogen for a variety of mesoderm- and neuroectoderm cells
	involved in organogenesis, in cardiomyocyte proliferation and angiogenesis during development
	perichondrial FGF1, FGF2, FGF6, FGF7, FGF9, FGF18, FGF21, fGF22 regulate growth plate chondrogenesis
	potent inducer of cell migration and chemotaxis
	activates spinal astrocytes, and activated astrocytes are implicated in neurodegenerative disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
	involved in opening pannexin and connexin hemichannels
	stress-induced unconventional export of FGF1, is associated with and dependent on the formation of membrane blebs and localized cell surface exposure of phosphatidylserine
	metabolic role for FGF1 as a critical transducer of PPARG signalling that mediates the proper coupling of nutrient storage to adaptive remodelling of adipose tissue
	FGF1 and FGF2 play a critical role in angiogenesis, a formation of new blood vessels from existing blood vessels
	induces maturation and cell cycle exit in chondrocytes, triggers rapid accumulation of RBL1-PPP2R2A complexes coinciding with RBL1 dephosphorylation
	prolonged biological activity of FGF1 can be achieved by increasing its proteolytic resistance directly linked to improved global thermostability
	acts through cell surface tyrosine kinase receptors, but FGF1 can also act directly in the cell nucleus, as a result of nuclear import of endogenously produced, non-secreted FGF1 or by transport of extracellular FGF1 via endosomes and cytosol into the nucleus
	antidiabetes function of FGF1 may act partially through increasing beta-cell differentiation
	role of intracellular FGF1 is to protect the cell against stress conditions by providing an additional signal for cell survival, independently of receptor-activated signaling cascades
	lacking a secretion peptide signal and acting mainly in an intracellular and nuclear manner

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	PPARG-FGF1 axis is critical for maintaining metabolic homeostasis and insulin sensitization
	Heparan sulfate (HS) chains form ternary complexes with FGF1/FGFR when enzymes carry out modifications in a specific manner

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	associated with S100A13 and p40 extracellular domain of synaptotagmin 1 (SYT1) for the release of signal peptide-less FGF1 in a temperature stress-induced pathway
	directly interacts with integrins in a dose-dependent manner (with ITGAV)
	interacting with S100A13 (released from the cells as a copper-dependent multiprotein complex that includes a small calcium-binding protein S100A13)
	induces regulated intramembrane proteolysis (RIP) of FGFR3
	both FGF19 and FGF21 but not FGF1 exhibit binding affinity to KLB
	KPNA1, KPNB1 were required for nuclear import of FGF1
	LRRC59 is strictly required for nuclear import of exogenous FGF1
	nucleolin (NCL), a nuclear multifunctional protein, is an interaction partner of FGF1, and NCL-FGF1 interaction is critical for the intranuclear phosphorylation of FGF1 by PRKCD and thereby the regulation of nuclear export of FGF1
	direct interaction of CTGF and FGF1, suggesting the co-presence of these molecules in the cartilage microenvironment
	BGN binds to FGFR3c and FGF1
	in heat-shocked cells, FGF1 and the C-terminal fragment of AHNAK2 colocalized with F-actin in the vicinity of the cell membrane

cell & other

REGULATION

induced by

temperature stress-induced pathway

Phosphorylated by

PRKCD (in the nucleus, FGF1 can be phosphorylated by PRKCD, and this event induces nuclear export of FGF1)

Other	accessible to pharmacologic regulation
	down-regulated by the binding of RFX1 to its promoter region
	induced in visceral (i.e. gonadal) white adipose tissue (WAT) in response to a high-fat diet
	phosphorylation does not regulate FGF1 neurotrophic activity but inhibits its anti-apoptotic activity after TP53-dependent apoptosis induction

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

Fgf1 is highly induced in adipose tissue in response to high-fat diet (HFD) and mice lacking Fgf1 develop an aggressive diabetic phenotype coupled to aberrant adipose expansion when challenged with HFD
