Dual Requirement for Yeast hnRNP Nab2p in mRNA poly(A) Tail Length Control and Nuclear Export [PDF]
Recent studies of mRNA export factors have provided additional evidence for a mechanistic link between mRNA 3′‐end formation and nuclear export. Here, we identify Nab2p as a nuclear poly(A)‐binding protein required for both poly(A) tail length control ...

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.

Different domains cooperate to target the human ribosomal L7a protein to the nucleus and to the nucleoli. [PDF]
The human ribosomal protein L7a is a component of the major ribosomal subunit. We transiently expressed in HeLa cells L7a-β-galactosidase fusion proteins and studied their subcellular localization by indirect immunofluorescence staining with anti-β ...

Structural basis of nuclear import of flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) [PDF]
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a member of the nuclease family and is structurally conserved from bacteriophages to humans. This protein is involved in multiple DNA-processing pathways, including Okazaki fragment maturation, stalled replication-fork ...

To control agonist-induced nuclear translocation of transcription factor κB (NF-κB) in intact cells, cell-permeable synthetic peptides were devised. Their import into intact cells was dependent on a hydrophobic region selected from the signal peptide ...

Investigation of latent nuclear localization sequence(NLS) OF STAT3 [PDF]
Objective: To investigate the latent nuclear localization sequence (NLS) OF STAT3. Methods: Clustal X (1.81) was used to alignment the DNA binding domain of the STAT family. According to structure characters, corresponding expression plasmids were constructed via oligonucleotides designed with gene tool software.

Identification of Nuclear Localization Signals in the ORF2 Protein of Porcine Circovirus Type 3
Porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) contains two major open reading frames (ORFs) and the ORF2 gene encodes the major structural capsid protein. In this study, nuclear localization of ORF2 was demonstrated by fluorescence observation and subcellular ...

Cytoplasmic localization of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I-α depends on a nuclear export signal in its regulatory domain [PDF]
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase I-α (CaMKI-α) is a ubiquitous cytosolic enzyme that phosphorylates a number of nuclear proteins in vitro and has been implicated in transcriptional regulation. We report that cytoplasmic localization of CaMKI-α

Identification of a Nuclear Localization Sequence in β-Arrestin-1 and Its Functional Implications*
Background: β-Arrestin-1 is present in the nucleus but lacks an identifiable nuclear localization signal. Results: Using sequence comparison and mutagenesis, we found Lys157 is critical to β-arrestin-1 nuclear localization and its regulation of NF-κB ...
