A thermodynamic paradigm for solution demixing inspired by nuclear transport in living cells

open access: yes, 2017
Living cells display a remarkable capacity to compartmentalize their functional biochemistry. A particularly fascinating example is the cell nucleus. Exchange of macromolecules between the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm does not involve traversing

Evolutionary conservation of influenza A PB2 sequences reveals potential target sites for small molecule inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The influenza A basic polymerase protein 2 (PB2) functions as part of a heterotrimer to replicate the viral RNA genome. To investigate novel PB2 antiviral target sites, this work identified evolutionary conserved regions across the PB2 protein sequence ...

The Importin β Binding Domain Modulates the Avidity of Importin β for the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2010
Importin beta mediates active passage of cellular substrates through the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Adaptors such as importin alpha and snurportin associate with importin beta via an importin beta binding (IBB) domain. The intrinsic structural flexibility of importin beta allows its concerted interactions with IBB domains, phenylalanine-glycine ...

Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation in Major Hallmarks of Cancer

open access: yesCell Proliferation, Volume 59, Issue 2, February 2026.
Aberrant condensates formed through phase separation are involved in the dysregulation of various critical cellular processes, including genome stability, transcriptional regulation and signal transduction, thereby promoting malignant transformation and the acquisition of multiple cancer hallmarks.

A novel homozygous mutation of the AIRE gene in an APECED patient from Pakistan: case report and review of the literature [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Autoimmune-poly-endocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal-dystrophy syndrome (APECED) is a rare monogenic recessive disorder caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator (AIRE) gene.

Nucleocytoplasmic transport: a thermodynamic mechanism

open access: yes, 2009
The nuclear pore supports molecular communication between cytoplasm and nucleus in eukaryotic cells. Selective transport of proteins is mediated by soluble receptors, whose regulation by the small GTPase Ran leads to cargo accumulation in, or depletion ...

Nuclear translocation of Cyclin B1 marks the restriction point for terminal cell cycle exit in G2 phase [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Upon DNA damage, cell cycle progression is temporally blocked to avoid propagation of mutations. While transformed cells largely maintain the competence to recover from a cell cycle arrest, untransformed cells past the G1/S transition lose mitotic ...

The Ran importin system in cilia trafficking [PDF]

open access: yesOrganogenesis, 2011
Cilia are microtubule-based organelles that arise from the centrosome and project from the surface of many cells. Defects in cilia-localized proteins are felt to lead to polycystic kidney disease as well as ciliopathies with multiple organ involvement.

The biology of PKM2 in the metabolism and senescence in diabetic kidney disease

open access: yesJournal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 17, Issue 2, Page 197-204, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is one of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease that leads to end‐stage kidney disease, and its progression is closely linked to metabolic stress within renal tubular cells. Under long‐term hyperglycemia, cells shift their glucose metabolism from normal oxidative phosphorylation toward glycolysis.
