Dye- and fluorescence-based assay to characterize symplastic and apoplastic trafficking in soybean (Glycime max L.) endosperm

Botanical Studies, 2019
Background Endosperm is a triploid tissue in seed resulting from a sperm nucleus fused with the binucleate central cell after double fertilization. Endosperm may be involved in metabolite production, solute transport, nutrient storage, and germination ...

Nucleocytoplasmic shuttling activity of ataxin-3. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
Spinocerebellar ataxia type-3, also known as Machado-Joseph Disease (MJD), is one of many inherited neurodegenerative disorders caused by polyglutamine-encoding CAG repeat expansions in otherwise unrelated genes.

Lactobacillus salivarius Promotion of Intestinal Stem Cell Activity in Hens Is Associated with Succinate-Induced Mitochondrial Energy Metabolism

mSystems, 2022
Currently, the regulation of Lactobacillus on intestinal stem cells (ISCs) attracts broad attention, but their active ingredients and the underlying mechanism are worthy of further study.

A Pseudorabies Virus Serine/Threonine Kinase, US3, Promotes Retrograde Transport in Axons via Akt/mToRC1

bioRxiv, 2021
Neurons are highly polarized cells with axons that can reach centimeters in length. Communication between axons at the periphery and the distant cell body is a relatively slow process involving the active transport of chemical messengers.

Ran GTPase: A Key Player in Tumor Progression and Metastasis

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Ran (Ras-related nuclear protein) GTPase is a member of the Ras superfamily. Like all the GTPases, Ran cycles between an active (GTP-bound) and inactive (GDP-bound) state.

The key role of microtubules in hypoxia preconditioning-induced nuclear translocation of HIF-1α in rat cardiomyocytes [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Background Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 is involved in the regulation of hypoxic preconditioning in cardiomyocytes. Under hypoxic conditions, HIF-1α accumulates and is translocated to the nucleus, where it forms an active complex with HIF-1β and ...

Diffusion and Not Active Transport Underlies and Limits ERK1/2 Synapse-to-Nucleus Signaling in Hippocampal Neurons*

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2007
The propagation of signals from synapses and dendrites to the nucleus is crucial for long lasting adaptive changes in the nervous system. The ERK-MAPK pathway can link neuronal activity and cell surface receptor activation to the regulation of gene ...

Chromosomal Proteins HMG-14 and HMG-17 Are Released from Mitotic Chromosomes and Imported into the Nucleus by Active Transport

Journal of Cell Biology, 1998
The high mobility group 14/17 (HMG-14/ -17) proteins form specific complexes with nucleosome core particles and produce distinct footprints on nucleosomal DNA. Therefore, they could be an integral part of the chromatin fiber. Here we show that during the

Carbon nanotubes as multifunctional biological transporters and near-infrared agents for selective cancer cell destruction [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (2005) 102, 11600-11605, 2005
Biological systems are known to be highly transparent to 700-1100nm near-infrared (NIR) light. It is shown here that the strong optical absorbance of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in this special spectral window, an intrinsic property of SWNTs, can be utilized for optical stimulation of nanotubes inside living cells to afford multifunctional ...

FERM domain–containing proteins are active components of the cell nucleus

Life Science Alliance
The information we gathered from the literature reveals that FERM domain proteins perform important and diverse functions not only in the cytoplasm, but also in the cell nucleus.
