Identification of karyopherin α1 and α7 interacting proteins in porcine tissue. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
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 ...

Transportin-1: A Nuclear Import Receptor with Moonlighting Functions

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2021
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 ...

Ebolavirus Species-Specific Interferon Antagonism Mediated by VP24

open access: yesViruses, 2023
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.

The Ebola Virus Interferon Antagonist VP24 Undergoes Active Nucleocytoplasmic Trafficking

open access: yesViruses, 2021
Viral interferon (IFN) antagonist proteins mediate evasion of IFN-mediated innate immunity and are often multifunctional, with distinct roles in viral replication.

Importin-9 wraps around the H2A-H2B core to act as nuclear importer and histone chaperone

open access: yeseLife, 2019
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.

KPNA2 is a potential diagnostic serum biomarker for epithelial ovarian cancer and correlates with poor prognosis

open access: yesTumor Biology, 2017
This study aimed to determine whether serum karyopherin alpha 2 levels can be used as a diagnostic biomarker for epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Karyopherin alpha 2 protein was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serum samples from 162 ...

The Wolbachia cytoplasmic incompatibility enzyme CidB targets nuclear import and protamine-histone exchange factors

open access: yeseLife, 2019
Intracellular Wolbachia bacteria manipulate arthropod reproduction to promote their own inheritance. The most prevalent mechanism, cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI), traces to a Wolbachia deubiquitylase, CidB, and CidA.

Exploring the role of mononuclear phagocytes in the epididymis

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
The onslaught of foreign antigens carried by spermatozoa into the epididymis, an organ that has not demonstrated immune privilege, a decade or more after the establishment of central immune tolerance presents a unique biological challenge.

Importin-8 Modulates Division of Apical Progenitors, Dendritogenesis and Tangential Migration During Development of Mouse Cortex

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2018
The building of the brain is a multistep process that requires the coordinate expression of thousands of genes and an intense nucleocytoplasmic transport of RNA and proteins.
