Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNP K protein) is an RNA/DNA-binding protein that acts in several compartments, including mitochondria. It integrates cellular signaling cascades with multiple processes of gene expression mechanisms. Our studies demonstrate that: (1) insulin activates the import of hnRNP K protein into mitochondria in vitro and in vivo; (2) overexpression of hnRNP K protein modulates insulin-activated mitochondrial gene expression; and (3) insulin treatment stimulates binding of hnRNP K protein to mitochondrial DNA. Based on these and our previously reported results we conclude that hnRNP K protein may be a mediator of mitochondrial response to insulin.
