## Abstract The insulin receptor substrate‐1 (IRS‐1), a docking protein for both the insulin (InR) and the insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐IR) receptors, sends a mitogenic, anti‐differentiation and transforming signal. We now show that down‐regulation of IRS‐1 in cells transformed by v‐src revers

Abstract
Translocation of the insulin receptor substrate‐1 (IRS‐1) to the nuclei has been reported to occur in cells stimulated by insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐I) or expressing certain viral and cellular oncogenes. We show here that insulin can also induce nuclear translocation of IRS‐1 in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEF), that do not express the type 1 insulin‐like growth factor receptor (IGF‐IR). Only the A isoform of the insulin receptor (IR) can induce IRS‐1 nuclear translocation, which is significant when the receptor is over‐expressed. At physiological receptor levels, translocation occurs only in a fraction of cells, and only at high concentrations of ligand. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract **Scope**: Insulin resistance, a condition associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus, results from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. The aim of this study was to explore the influence of the G972R polymorphism at the insulin receptor substrate 1 gene on insulin sensit
The addition of dexamethasone (dex) to human fibroblast cultures has been found to elicit enhanced proliferation. This enhancement is manifested by an increase in the initial growth rate, saturation density, and proliferative life span of WI-38 fibroblast cultures grown in the presence of dex. We ex
We analyzed by SSCP the complete IRS-1 coding sequence in NIDDM patient #25 D. Unique conformers corresponding to a Ser to Tyr substitution at codon 1043 (S1043Y), and to a Cys to Tyr substitution at codon 1095 (C1095Y) were detected in this patient. The results of sequential digestion with restrict
