Intracellular activities and subcellular localization of wild-type (FGF1WT) and mutant FGF1 forms (FGF1K132E, FGF1S130A, FGF1S130D). (a) Intracellular FGF1WT induced PC12 cells neuronal differentiation. Only the K132E mutation inhibited this activity. (b) Intracellular FGF1WT and FGF1S130A protected PC12 cells from p53-dependent apoptosis, in contrast to FGF1K132E and FGF1S130D. All these FGF1 forms presented both a nuclear and a cytosolic localization
