Localization of Daucus carota NMCP1 to the nuclear periphery: the role of the N-terminal region and an NLS-linked sequence motif, RYNLRR, in the tail domain [PDF]
Recent ultrastructural studies revealed that a structure similar to the vertebrate nuclear lamina exists in the nuclei of higher plants. However, plant genomes lack genes for lamins and intermediate-type filament proteins, and this suggests that plant ...

Nuclear Import of Arabidopsis Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase 2 Is Mediated by Importin-α and a Nuclear Localization Sequence Located Between the Predicted SAP Domains. [PDF]
Proteins of the Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase (PARP) family modify target proteins by covalent attachment of ADP-ribose moieties onto amino acid side chains.

Cellular Import Mediated by Nuclear Localization Signal Peptide Sequences [PDF]
The cellular delivery of therapeutic agents and their localization within cells is currently a great challenge in medicinal chemistry. A few cationic peptides have shown a strong propensity to cross the cytoplasmic membrane and enter cells. Nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequences are a class of highly cationic peptides that may be exploited for ...

Nuclear Targeting of the Maize R Protein Requires Two Nuclear Localization Sequences [PDF]
Previous genetic and structural evidence indicates that the maize R gene encodes a nuclear transcriptional activating factor. In-frame carboxyl- and amino-terminal fusions of the R gene to the reporter gene encoding beta-glucuronidase (GUS) were sufficient to direct GUS to the nucleus of the transiently transformed onion (Allium cepa) epidermal cells ...

Sequence Determinants for hnRNP I Protein Nuclear Localization
hnRNP I, also referred to as polypyrimidine tract binding protein, is one of the proteins associated with nascent pre-mRNA in the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) complexes. As for all karyophilic proteins, the nuclear import of hnRNP proteins requires specific sequence determinants that in many instances differ from the canonical import

Multiple Nuclear Localization Sequences Allow Modulation of 5‐Lipoxygenase Nuclear Import [PDF]
The nuclear import of proteins typically requires the presence of a nuclear localization sequence (NLS). Some proteins have more than one NLS, but the significance of having multiple NLSs is unclear. The enzyme 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LO) has three NLSs that, unlike the tight cluster of basic residues of the classical SV40 large T antigen NLS, contain ...

Characterization of Ku70(2)-NLS as bipartite nuclear localization sequence for non-viral gene delivery. [PDF]
Several barriers have to be overcome in order to achieve gene expression in target cells, e.g. cellular uptake, endosomal release and translocation to the nucleus.

Identification of a novel nuclear localization signal sequence in Chlamydia trachomatis-secreted hypothetical protein CT311. [PDF]
We previously reported that Chlamydia trachomatis hypothetical protein CT311 was secreted out of chlamydial inclusion and into host cell cytosol. We now found that CT311 further entered host cell nucleus at the late stage of infection and continued to ...

Yeast proteins that recognize nuclear localization sequences. [PDF]
A variety of peptides can mediate the localization of proteins to the nucleus. We have identified yeast proteins of 70 and 59 kD that bind to nuclear localization peptides of SV-40 T antigen, Xenopus nucleoplasmin, and the yeast proteins Ga14 and histone H2B.
