Paxillin is a group III LIM domain protein that is best characterized as a cytoplasmic scaffold/adaptor protein that functions primarily as a mediator of focal adhesion. However, emerging studies indicate that paxillin's functions are far broader. Not only does paxillin appear to regulate cytoplasmic kinase signaling, but it also cycles between the cytoplasm and nucleus, and may serve as an important regulator of mRNA trafficking and subsequent translation. Herein, we provide some insights suggesting that paxillin, like its relative Hic-5, has nuclear binding partners and mediates critical processes within the nucleus, at least in part functioning as coregulator of nuclear receptors and nuclear kinases to mediate genomic signaling.
