Resolving conformational changes in FG nucleoporins due to multivalent Karyopherin binding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a huge macromolecular assembly that selectively regulates the exchange of cargo between the nuclear and the cytoplasmic compartment in a cell.

Human sperm chromatin epigenetic potential: genomics, proteomics, and male infertility

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
The classical idea about the function of the mammalian sperm chromatin is that it serves to transmit a highly protected and transcriptionally inactive paternal genome, largely condensed by protamines, to the next generation.

Increased expression of KPNA2 predicts unfavorable prognosis in ovarian cancer patients, possibly by targeting KIF4A signaling

open access: yesJournal of Ovarian Research, 2021
Background Karyopherin α-2 (KPNA2) is a member of karyopherin family, which is proved to be responsible for the import or export of cargo proteins. Studies have determined that KPNA2 is associated with the development and prognosis of various cancers ...

Exosome‐Mediated Delivery of PROTACs for Targeted Protein Degradation in Cancer, Neurodegenerative, Infectious, and Inflammatory Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 30, Issue 15, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Proteolysis‐targeting chimeras (PROTACs) are heterobifunctional molecules that hijack the ubiquitin‐proteasome system to drive catalytic, sub‐stoichiometric degradation of disease‐associated proteins, offering a mechanistic advantage over occupancy‐driven inhibitors and access to ‘undruggable’ targets.

Structural and mutational analysis reveals that CTNNBL1 binds NLSs in a manner distinct from that of its closest armadillo-relative, karyopherin α [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
CTNNBL1 is a spliceosome-associated protein that binds nuclear localization signals (NLSs) in splice factors CDC5L and Prp31 as well as the antibody diversifying enzyme AID.

New insights into the regulation of cholesterol efflux from the sperm membrane

open access: yesAsian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Cholesterol is an essential component of the mammalian plasma membrane because it promotes membrane stability without comprising membrane fluidity. Given this important cellular role, cholesterol levels are tightly controlled at multiple levels.

Take your mother’s ferry: preimplantation embryo development requires maternal karyopherins for nuclear transport

open access: yesThe Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2023
The genetic basis of preimplantation embryo arrest is slowly being unraveled. Recent discoveries point to maternally expressed proteins required for cellular functions before the embryonic genome is activated. In this issue of the JCI, Wang, Miyamoto, et

TDP‐43 Aggregation: The Healthy‐Toxic Balance of the Prion‐Like Domain

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 40, 17 July 2026.
TDP‐43 function relies on a delicate balance between reversible phase‐separated states and irreversible aggregation. Under physiological conditions, TDP‐43 forms dynamic droplets and oligomers that support normal cellular functions. In pathological contexts, this balance shifts toward aberrant aggregation, leading to toxic species.

KPNA7, an oocyte- and embryo-specific karyopherin?subtype, is required for porcine embryo development

open access: yes, 2012
Coordinated partitioning of intracellular cargoes between nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments is critical for cell survival and differentiation. The karyopherin α/β heterodimer functions to import cytoplasmic proteins that possess classical nuclear ...

Nuclear Transport of Yeast Proteasomes

open access: yesFrontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2019
Proteasomes are key proteases in regulating protein homeostasis. Their holo-enzymes are composed of 40 different subunits which are arranged in a proteolytic core (CP) flanked by one to two regulatory particles (RP).
