Ibetazol, a novel inhibitor of importin β1-mediated nuclear import [PDF]
Nucleocytoplasmatic transport plays an essential role in eukaryotic cell homeostasis and is mediated by karyopherins. Importin β1 (KPNB1) and its adaptor protein importin α1 (KPNA2) are the best-characterized karyopherins that effect nuclear import. Here,

Dynamics and regulation of nuclear import and nuclear movements of HIV-1 complexes. [PDF]
The dynamics and regulation of HIV-1 nuclear import and its intranuclear movements after import have not been studied. To elucidate these essential HIV-1 post-entry events, we labeled viral complexes with two fluorescently tagged virion-incorporated ...

Phospholipid scramblase 1 interacts with influenza A virus NP, impairing its nuclear import and thereby suppressing virus replication. [PDF]
Transcription and replication of the influenza A virus (IAV) genome occur in the nucleus of infected cells and are carried out by the viral ribonucleoprotein complex (vRNP).

Influenza A viruses escape from MxA restriction at the expense of efficient nuclear vRNP import [PDF]
To establish a new lineage in the human population, avian influenza A viruses (AIV) must overcome the intracellular restriction factor MxA. Partial escape from MxA restriction can be achieved when the viral nucleoprotein (NP) acquires the critical human ...

Direct visualization of HIV-1 core nuclear import and its interplay with the nuclear pore [PDF]
Direct visualization of HIV-1 nuclear import through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) presents a technical challenge due to the rarity of this process.

Mechanical control of nuclear import by Importin-7 is regulated by its dominant cargo YAP
The translation of mechanical cues into gene expression changes is dependent on the nuclear import of mechanoresponsive transcriptional regulators. Here the authors identify that Importin-7 drives the nuclear import of one such regulator YAP while YAP ...

Dissecting the Nuclear Import of the Ribosomal Protein Rps2 (uS5) [PDF]
The ribosome is assembled in a complex process mainly taking place in the nucleus. Consequently, newly synthesized ribosomal proteins have to travel from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, where they are incorporated into nascent ribosomal subunits. In this

Mediated nuclear import and export of TAZ and the underlying molecular requirements [PDF]
Nucleocytoplasmic distribution of Yap/TAZ is regulated by the Hippo pathway and the cytoskeleton. While interactions with cytosolic and nuclear “retention factors” (14–3–3 and TEAD) are known to control their localization, fundamental aspects of Yap/TAZ ...

An assembly of capsid proteins (CA) form the mature viral core enclosing the HIV-1 ribonucleoprotein complex. Discrepant findings have been reported regarding the cellular sites and the extent of core disassembly (uncoating) in infected cells.

HIV-1 exploits importin 7 to maximize nuclear import of its DNA genome [PDF]
Background Nuclear import of the HIV-1 reverse transcription complex (RTC) is critical for infection of non dividing cells, and importin 7 (imp7) has been implicated in this process.
