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.

Simple biophysics underpins collective conformations of the intrinsically disordered proteins of the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) are key cellular transporter that control nucleocytoplasmic transport in eukaryotic cells, but its transport mechanism is still not understood.

Karyopherin α 3 and Karyopherin α 4 Proteins Mediate the Nuclear Import of Methyl-CpG Binding Protein 2 [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biological Chemistry, 2015
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

Negative biomarker based male fertility evaluation: Sperm phenotypes associated with molecular-level anomalies

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Biomarker-based sperm analysis elevates the treatment of human infertility and ameliorates reproductive performance in livestock. The negative biomarker-based approach focuses on proteins and ligands unique to defective spermatozoa, regardless of their ...

Components and regulation of nuclear transport processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The spatial separation of DNA replication and gene transcription in the nucleus and protein translation in the cytoplasm is a uniform principle of eukaryotic cells. This compartmentalization imposes a requirement for a transport network of macromolecules

The Nuclear Transport Factor Kap121 Is Required for Stability of the Dam1 Complex and Mitotic Kinetochore Bi-orientation

open access: yesCell Reports, 2016
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 ...

Evidence for an evolutionary relationship between the large adaptor nucleoporin Nup192 and karyopherins [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Nucleocytoplasmic transport is facilitated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which are massive proteinaceous transport channels embedded in the nuclear envelope.

Papillomavirus E5: the smallest oncoprotein with many functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Papillomaviruses (PVs) are established agents of human and animal cancers. They infect cutaneous and mucous epithelia. High Risk (HR) Human PVs (HPVs) are consistently associated with cancer of the uterine cervix, but are also involved in the ...

Karyopherins play the field [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2006
![][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.
