Importin-9 wraps around the H2A-H2B core to act as nuclear importer and histone chaperone [PDF]
We report the crystal structure of nuclear import receptor Importin-9 bound to its cargo, the histones H2A-H2B. Importin-9 wraps around the core, globular region of H2A-H2B to form an extensive interface.

Yeast 26S proteasome nuclear import is coupled to nucleus-specific degradation of the karyopherin adaptor protein Sts1 [PDF]
In eukaryotes, the ubiquitin–proteasome system is an essential pathway for protein degradation and cellular homeostasis. 26S proteasomes concentrate in the nucleus of budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae due to the essential import adaptor protein Sts1

Canine soft tissue sarcomas: the expression of RUNX2 and karyopherin alpha-2 in extraskeletal (soft tissues) and skeletal osteosarcomas [PDF]
Extraskeletal osteosarcoma (EOS) is a malignant tumor producing bone matrix and/or chondroid material, without direct attachment to bone or periosteum.

Accumulation of TDP-43 causes karyopherin-α4 pathology that characterises amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Cytoplasmic mislocalisation and nuclear depletion of TDP-43 are pathological hallmarks of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), including mutations in the C9ORF72 gene that characterise the most common genetic form of ALS (C9ALS).

Transportin-1: A Nuclear Import Receptor with Moonlighting Functions
Transportin-1 (Trn1), also known as karyopherin-β2 (Kapβ2), is probably the best-characterized nuclear import receptor of the karyopherin-β family after Importin-β, but certain aspects of its functions in cells are still puzzling or are just recently ...

Identification of karyopherin α1 and α7 interacting proteins in porcine tissue. [PDF]
Specialized trafficking systems in eukaryotic cells serve a critical role in partitioning intracellular proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Cytoplasmic proteins (including chromatin remodeling enzymes and transcription factors) must gain access ...

Ebolavirus Species-Specific Interferon Antagonism Mediated by VP24
Members of the Ebolavirus genus demonstrate a marked differences in pathogenicity in humans with Ebola (EBOV) being the most pathogenic, Bundibugyo (BDBV) less pathogenic, and Reston (RESTV) is not known to cause a disease in humans.

Diversification of importin-α isoforms in cellular trafficking and disease states. [PDF]
The human genome encodes seven isoforms of importin α which are grouped into three subfamilies known as α1, α2 and α3. All isoforms share a fundamentally conserved architecture that consists of an N-terminal, autoinhibitory, importin-β-binding (IBB ...

VP24-Karyopherin alpha binding affinities differ between Ebolavirus species, nfluencing interferon inhibition and VP24 stability [PDF]
Zaire ebolavirus (EBOV), Bundibugyo ebolavirus (BDBV), and Reston ebolavirus (RESTV) belong to the same genus but exhibit different virulence properties.
