FOXO1 is transcriptionally active. 2 / 2

"Placing an aspartate residue at Ser-256, to mimic phosphorylation, also induced substantial cytoplasmic localization, even in unstimulated cells. Together, these results provide the first direct evidence that residues within the basic region of the FKHR DNA binding domain are essential for nuclear targetting, and that the introduction of a negative charge at this site is sufficient to disrupt this function."

"Western blot analysis revealed that FOXO1a accumulated preferentially in the nucleus upon ROS stimuli, resulting in the transactivation of IRS promoter activity driven by H(2)O(2)-activated FOXO1a."
