The karyopherin (Kap) family of nuclear transport factors facilitates macromolecular transport through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). The binding of Kaps to their cargos can also regulate, both temporally and spatially, the interactions of the cargo ...

Karyopherins play the field [PDF]
![][1] Import of proteins (green) into the nucleus is slower than expected, revealing that karyopherins are choosy about their cargo. Proteins that shuttle molecules into the nucleus face the same problem as customers of a dating service.

Adjunct Duties for Karyopherins: Regulating Septin Sumoylation [PDF]
Karyopherins are shuttling transport receptors regulated by the small GTPase Ran, which move cargo between the nucleus and cytoplasm by passing through the nuclear pore complexes. A recent paper in Journal of Cell Biology (Makhnevych et al., 2007) highlights an additional role for karyopherins during mitosis, in regulating the sumoylation status of the

Karyopherin α 3 and Karyopherin α 4 Proteins Mediate the Nuclear Import of Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 [PDF]
Methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MeCP2) is a nuclear protein with important roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression, and mutations in MECP2 cause Rett syndrome (RTT). Within the MeCP2 protein sequence, the nuclear localization signal (NLS) is reported to reside between amino acids 255-271, and certain RTT-causing mutations overlap with

Karyopherins in the Remodeling of Extracellular Matrix: Implications in Tendon Injury
Rotator Cuff Tendinopathies (RCT) are debilitating conditions characterized by alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM) of the shoulder tendon, resulting in pain, discomfort, and functional limitations. Specific mediators, including HIF-1α, TGF-β, MMP-9 and others have been implicated in the morphological changes observed in the tendon ECM.

Redox regulation of mammalian sperm capacitation
Capacitation is a series of morphological and metabolic changes necessary for the spermatozoon to achieve fertilizing ability. One of the earlier happenings during mammalian sperm capacitation is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that will ...

Evolutionary and Transcriptional Analysis of Karyopherin β Superfamily Proteins [PDF]
In eukaryotes, karyopherin beta superfamily proteins mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport of macromolecules. We investigated the evolutionary and transcriptional patterns of these proteins using bioinformatics approaches. No obvious homologs were found in prokaryotes, but an extensive set of beta-karyopherin proteins was found in yeast.
