The focal adhesion protein Vinculin (VCL) is ascribed to various cytoplasmic functions; however, its nuclear role has so far been ambiguous. We observed that VCL localizes to the nuclei of mouse primary spermatocytes undergoing first meiotic division ...

PIP2-Effector Protein MPRIP Regulates RNA Polymerase II Condensation and Transcription
The specific post-translational modifications of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the Rpb1 subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) correlate with different stages of transcription.

Nucleoporin TPR Affects C2C12 Myogenic Differentiation via Regulation of Myh4 Expression
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has emerged as a hub for the transcriptional regulation of a subset of genes, and this type of regulation plays an important role during differentiation.

Here, we provide evidence for the presence of Myosin phosphatase rho-interacting protein (MPRIP), an F-actin-binding protein, in the cell nucleus. The MPRIP protein binds to Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and localizes to the nuclear ...

Super-Resolution Localisation of Nuclear PI(4)P and Identification of Its Interacting Proteome
Phosphoinositides are glycerol-based phospholipids, and they play essential roles in cellular signalling, membrane and cytoskeletal dynamics, cell movement, and the modulation of ion channels and transporters.

Mechanisms governing the accessibility of DNA damage proteins to constitutive heterochromatin
Chromatin is thought to regulate the accessibility of the underlying DNA sequence to machinery that transcribes and repairs the DNA. Heterochromatin is chromatin that maintains a sufficiently high density of DNA packing to be visible by light microscopy ...
