T3 Enters Axon Terminals of Mouse Cortical Neurons, Is Retrogradely Transported to the Cell Nucleus and Activates Gene Expression [PDF]
Abstract Thyroid hormone (TH) is critical for brain development and function. T3 enters neurons through membrane transporters and reaches the cell nucleus where it binds to receptors (TR) to regulate gene transcription. However, neurons also express the type 3 deiodinase (D3), which is located in the cellular and nuclear membranes and ...

The correlation between cell and nucleus size is explained by an eukaryotic cell growth model.
In eukaryotes, the cell volume is observed to be strongly correlated with the nuclear volume. The slope of this correlation depends on the cell type, growth condition, and the physical environment of the cell.

Efficient active transport of gene nanocarriers to the cell nucleus [PDF]
The intracellular transport of therapeutic gene carriers is poorly understood, limiting the rational design of efficient new vectors. We used live-cell real-time multiple particle tracking to quantify the intracellular transport of hundreds of individual nonviral DNA nanocarriers with 5-nm and 33-ms resolution.

Endogenous interleukin 1 alpha must be transported to the nucleus to exert its activity in human endothelial cells. [PDF]
We have previously shown that the signal peptideless cytokine interleukin 1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) may play a role as an intracellular regulator of human endothelial cell senescence (J. A. M. Maier, P. Voulalas, D. Roeder, and T. Maciag, Science 249:1570-1574, 1990). To investigate the potential intracellular function of IL-1 alpha, transformed endothelial

Quantitative Nucleocytoplasmic Transport Assays in Cellular Models of Neurodegeneration
Nucleocytoplasmic transport deficits are suggested to play a role in neurodegenerative disorders, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Given the importance and complexity of this process, understanding when these aberrations occur and which ...

SARS-CoV 9b protein diffuses into nucleus, undergoes active Crm1 mediated nucleocytoplasmic export and triggers apoptosis when retained in the nucleus. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: 9b is an accessory protein of the SARS-CoV. It is a small protein of 98 amino acids and its structure has been solved recently. 9b is known to localize in the extra-nuclear region and has been postulated to possess a nuclear export signal ...

Fragile X–Related Protein 1 Regulates Nucleoporin Localization in a Cell Cycle–Dependent Manner
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are embedded in the nuclear envelope (NE) where they ensure the transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
