In cells that do not express .kappa. immunoglobulin light chain genes, the .kappa. enhancer-binding protein NF-.kappa.B is not evident in either cytoplasmic or nuclear fractions. By denaturation, size fractionation, and renaturation, however, NF-.kappa.B activity can be revealed in cytosolic fractions, showing that the DNA-binding protein is present but inhibited in its binding activity. By using a variety of protocols involving the dissociating agents sodium desoxycholate and formamide, as much cytosolic NF-.kappa.B can be found in the fraction from unstimulated 70Z/3 pre-B cells as is found in the nuclear extract from phorbol ester-activated cells. We conclude that both 70Z/3 and HeLa cells contain apparently cytosolic NF-.kappa.B in a form with no evident DNA-binding activity, and phorbol esters both release the inhibition of binding and cause a translocation to the nucleus.
