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

open access: yes, 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.

MiR‐20a‐5p Inhibits Bladder Cancer Proliferation and Migration by Targeting KPNA2

open access: yesJournal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine, Volume 29, Issue 16, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Bladder cancer (BC) is one of the 10 most common cancers in the world, and its recurrence and metastasis are the main causes of death in BC patients. Exploring the molecular mechanisms of BC pathogenesis and searching for new prognostic markers and therapeutic targets are important for improving patient prognosis.

Mitochondria and Endoplasmic Reticulum Contact Site as a Regulator of Proteostatic Stress Responses in Neurodegenerative Diseases

open access: yesBioEssays, Volume 47, Issue 7, July 2025.
Recent findings indicate that mitochondria‐associated membranes (MAMs), where the endoplasmic reticulum directly contacts the mitochondria, are a novel microdomain essential for cellular homeostasis, including proteostasis. We summarize the disruption of protein homeostasis and MAM alteration in neurodegenerative diseases, then discuss challenges and ...

The Structure Inventory of the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the principal gateway for molecular exchange between nucleus and cytoplasm across the nuclear envelope. Due to its sheer size of estimated 50-112 MDa and its complex buildup from about 500-1000 individual proteins, it is

Yeast karyopherin Kap95 is required for cell cycle progression at Start

open access: yesBMC Cell Biology, 2010
Background The control of the subcellular localization of cell cycle regulators has emerged as a crucial mechanism in cell division regulation. The active transport of proteins between the nucleus and the cytoplasm is mediated by the transport receptors ...

Metabolism and function of hepatitis B virus cccDNA: Implications for the development of cccDNA-targeting antiviral therapeutics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection relies on the stable maintenance and proper functioning of a nuclear episomal form of the viral genome called covalently closed circular (ccc) DNA.

Multiple telophase arrest bypassed (tab) mutants alleviate the essential requirement for Cdc15 in exit from mitosis in S. cerevisiae

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2002
Background The Mitotic Exit Network (MEN) proteins – including the protein kinase Cdc15 and the protein phosphatase Cdc14 – are essential for exit from mitosis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Membrane-coating lattice scaffolds in the nuclear pore and vesicle coats: Commonalities, differences, challenges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) regulates all traffic between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. It is a large protein assembly composed of multiple copies of ~30 nucleoporins (nups).

Karyopherin α2-dependent import of E2F1 and TFDP1 maintains protumorigenic stathmin expression in liver cancer

open access: yesCell Communication and Signaling, 2019
Background Members of the karyopherin superfamily serve as nuclear transport receptors/adaptor proteins and provide exchange of macromolecules between the nucleo- and cytoplasm.

Origin of the cell nucleus, mitosis and sex: roles of intracellular coevolution

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2010
Background The transition from prokaryotes to eukaryotes was the most radical change in cell organisation since life began, with the largest ever burst of gene duplication and novelty.
