Differences in the localization and morphology of chromosomes in the human nucleus [PDF]
Using fluorescence in situ hybridization we show striking differences in nuclear position, chromosome morphology, and interactions with nuclear substructure for human chromosomes 18 and 19.

Polylysine (pLy) has been used successfully as a DNA carrier in receptor-mediated gene transfer, enhancement of transfection having been proposed to be in part through efficient nuclear targeting stemming from the resemblance of pLy to the nuclear localization sequence (NLS) from simian virus SV40 large tumor antigen (T-ag).

Subdomain-specific localization of CLIMP-63 (p63) in the endoplasmic reticulum is mediated by its luminal alpha-helical segment [PDF]
The microtubule-binding integral 63 kD cytoskeleton-linking membrane protein (CLIMP-63; former name, p63) of the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is excluded from the nuclear envelope.

The Nuclear Localization of Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β Is Required Its Putative PY-Nuclear Localization Sequences [PDF]
Glycogen synthase kinase-3β(GSK-3β), which is a member of the serine/threonine kinase family, has been shown to be crucial for cellular survival, differentiation, and metabolism. Here, we present evidence that GSK-3β is associated with the karyopherin β2 (Kap β2) (102-kDa), which functions as a substrate for transportation into the nucleus. A potential

Differential Expression and Sequence-specific Interaction of Karyopherin α with Nuclear Localization Sequences [PDF]
The process of nuclear protein transport requires the interaction of several different proteins, either directly or indirectly with nuclear localization or targeting sequences (NLS). Recently, a number of karyopherins alpha, or NLS-binding proteins, have been identified.

Diffusion of Proteins Across the Nuclear Envelope of HeLa Cells
We describe an experimental system to study nucleocytoplasmic diffusion of proteins in living HeLa cells. To localize proteins to the nucleus, substrates were created that contain a nuclear localization sequence fused to Aequorea victoria green ...

Replication of the RNA genome of influenza A virus occurs in the nucleus of infected cells. The influenza nucleoprotein (NP) associated with the viral RNA into ribonucleoprotein complexes (vRNPs) is involved in the nuclear import of the viral genome.

The evolution of drug-activated nuclear receptors: one ancestral gene diverged into two xenosensor genes in mammals [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Drugs and other xenobiotics alter gene expression of cytochromes P450 (CYP) by activating the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) in mammals.

Up‐regulation of nuclear protein import by nuclear localization signal sequences in living cells [PDF]
Using an in vivo assay system, nuclear import ability in individual cells was determined by examining the nuclear import rate. It was found that when a small (not excess) amount of SV40 T‐NLS peptides was co‐injected, the nuclear import rate of SV40 T‐NLS‐containing substrates apparently increased.

The Ebola Virus Interferon Antagonist VP24 Undergoes Active Nucleocytoplasmic Trafficking
Viral interferon (IFN) antagonist proteins mediate evasion of IFN-mediated innate immunity and are often multifunctional, with distinct roles in viral replication.
