ABSTRACT Four isoforms of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) result from alternative initiations of translation at three CUG start codons and one AUG start codon. Here we characterize a new 34-kDa FGF-2 isoform whose expression is initiated at a fifth initiation codon. This 34-kDa FGF-2 was identified in HeLa cells by using an N-terminal directed antibody. Its initiation codon was identified by site-directed mutagenesis as being a CUG codon located at 86 nucleotides (nt) from the FGF-2 mRNA 5′ end. Both in vitro translation and COS-7 cell transfection using bicistronic RNAs demonstrated that the 34-kDa FGF-2 was exclusively expressed in a cap-dependent manner. This contrasted with the expression of the other FGF-2 isoforms of 18, 22, 22.5, and 24 kDa, which is controlled by an internal ribosome entry site (IRES). Strikingly, expression of the other FGF-2 isoforms became partly cap dependent in vitro in the presence of the 5,823-nt-long 3′ untranslated region of FGF-2 mRNA. Thus, the FGF-2 mRNA can be translated both by cap-dependent and IRES-driven mechanisms, the balance between these two mechanisms modulating the ratio of the different FGF-2 isoforms. The function of the new FGF-2 was also investigated. We found that the 34-kDa FGF-2, in contrast to the other isoforms, permitted NIH 3T3 cell survival in low-serum conditions. A new arginine-rich nuclear localization sequence (NLS) in the N-terminal region of the 34-kDa FGF-2 was characterized and found to be similar to the NLS of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Rev protein. These data suggest that the function of the 34-kDa FGF-2 is mediated by nuclear targets.
