Roles of replication fork-interacting and Chk1-activating domains from claspin in a DNA replication checkpoint response [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Claspin is essential for the ATR-dependent activation of Chk1 in Xenopus egg extracts containing incompletely replicated DNA. Claspin associates with replication forks upon origin unwinding.

The role of Importin-βs in the maintenance and lineage commitment of mouse embryonic stem cells

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, 2014
Members of the Importin-β family recognize nuclear localization signals (NLS) and nuclear export signals (NES). These proteins play important roles in various nucleocytoplasmic transport processes in cells. Here, we examined the expression patterns of 21

Resetting a functional G1 nucleus after mitosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
© The Author(s) 2015. The maintenance of the correct cellular information goes beyond the simple transmission of an intact genetic code from one generation to the next. Epigenetic changes, topological cues and correct protein-protein interactions need to

Phosphorylation adjacent to the nuclear localization signal of human dUTPase abolishes nuclear import: Structural and mechanistic insights [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Phosphorylation adjacent to nuclear localization signals (NLSs) is involved in the regulation of nucleocytoplasmic transport. The nuclear isoform of human dUTPase, an enzyme that is essential for genomic integrity, has been shown to be phosphorylated on ...

Putting things in place for fertilization: discovering roles for importin proteins in cell fate and spermatogenesis

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Importin proteins were originally characterized for their central role in protein transport through the nuclear pores, the only intracellular entry to the nucleus.

Nuclear importin α and its physiological importance

open access: yesCommunicative & Integrative Biology, 2012
Importin α is recognized as a classical nuclear localization signal (cNLS) receptor which mediates nucleocytoplasmic transport. However, it rapidly accumulates in the nucleus in response to cellular stresses, including oxidative stress, causing a blockade of the classical nuclear import pathway. We set out to determine whether importin α performs roles

Trimethylguanosine nucleoside inhibits cross-linking between snurportin 1 and m3G-capped U1 snRNA [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Macromolecular nuclear import is an energy-and signal-dependent process. The best characterized type of nuclear import consists of proteins carrying the classical NLS that is mediated by the heterodimeric receptor importin α/β. Spliceosomal snRNPs U1, U2,

Novel localization of formin mDia2: importin β-mediated delivery to and retention at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope

open access: yesBiology Open, 2015
The formin family proteins are important regulators of actin polymerization that are involved in many cellular processes. However, little is known about their specific cellular localizations.

Importin α-importin β complex mediated nuclear translocation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein-5

open access: yesEndocrine Journal, 2017
Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein (IGFBP)-5 is a secreted protein that binds to IGFs and modulates IGF actions, as well as regulates cell proliferation, migration, and apoptosis independent of IGF. Proper cellular localization is critical for the effective function of most signaling molecules.

The adapter importin‐α provides flexible control of nuclear import at the expense of efficiency

open access: yesMolecular Systems Biology, 2007
Although there exists a large family of nuclear transport receptors (Karyopherins), the majority of known import cargoes use an adapter protein, Importin‐α (Impα), which links the cargo to a karyopherin, Importin‐β (Impβ). The reason for the existence of
