Raver2, a new member of the hnRNP family [PDF]
Raver2 was identified as a novel member of the hnRNP family based on sequence homology within three RNA recognition motifs and its general domain organization reminiscent of the previously described raver1 protein.

Diversification of importin-α isoforms in cellular trafficking and disease states. [PDF]
The human genome encodes seven isoforms of importin α which are grouped into three subfamilies known as α1, α2 and α3. All isoforms share a fundamentally conserved architecture that consists of an N-terminal, autoinhibitory, importin-β-binding (IBB ...

posterior end mark 2 (pem-2),pem-4,pem-5, andpem-6: Maternal Genes with Localized mRNA in the Ascidian Embryo [PDF]
The posterior–vegetal cytoplasm of an ascidian egg contains maternal factors required for pattern formation and cell specification of the embryo. We report here the isolation and characterization of cDNA clones for novel maternal genes,posterior end mark

Phylogenetic analysis of the SAP30 family of transcriptional regulators reveals functional divergence in the domain that binds the nuclear matrix [PDF]
Background: Deacetylation of histones plays a fundamental role in gene silencing, and this is mediated by a corepressor complex containing Sin3 as an essential scaffold protein. In this report we examine the evolution of two proteins in this complex, the

Sequences enriched in Alu repeats drive nuclear localization of long RNAs in human cells
Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are emerging as key parts of multiple cellular pathways, but their modes of action and how these are dictated by sequence remain unclear.

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

Plastid proteome prediction for diatoms and other algae with secondary plastids of the red lineage [PDF]
The plastids of ecologically and economically important algae from phyla such as stramenopiles, dinoflagellates and cryptophytes were acquired via a secondary endosymbiosis and are surrounded by three or four membranes.

Nuclear accumulation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mcm3 is dependent on its nuclear localization sequence [PDF]
Background:The proteins of the Mcm2‐7 family are required for the initiation of DNA replication. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae the nuclear envelope does not break down during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle. Large nuclear proteins, such as the Mcm proteins, which accumulate in the nucleus during specific portions of the cell cycle, must have ...
