Types of nuclear localization signals and mechanisms of protein import into the nucleus
Cell Communication and Signaling, 2021 Nuclear localization signals (NLS) are generally short peptides that act as a signal fragment that mediates the transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into the nucleus.

An Endoribonuclease Functionally Linked to Perinuclear mRNP Quality Control Associates with the Nuclear Pore Complexes [PDF]
, 2009 Nuclear mRNA export is a crucial step in eukaryotic gene expression, which is in yeast coupled to cotranscriptional messenger ribonucleoprotein particle ( mRNP) assembly and surveillance.

Energetics of Transport through the Nuclear Pore Complex. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Molecular transport across the nuclear envelope in eukaryotic cells is solely controlled by the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The NPC provides two types of nucleocytoplasmic transport: passive diffusion of small molecules and active chaperon-mediated ...

Baculovirus Nuclear Import: Open, Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) Sesame
Viruses, 2013 Baculoviruses are one of the largest viruses that replicate in the nucleus of their host cells. During infection, the rod-shape, 250-nm long nucleocapsid delivers its genome into the nucleus.

Cohesiveness tunes assembly and morphology of FG nucleoporin domain meshworks – Implications for nuclear pore permeability [PDF]
, 2013 Nuclear pore complexes control the exchange of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. A selective permeability barrier that arises from a supramolecular assembly of intrinsically unfolded nucleoporin domains rich in phenylalanine-glycine ...

NDC1 : a crucial membrane-integral nucleoporin of metazoan nuclear pore complexes [PDF]
, 2006 POM121 and gp210 were, until this point, the only known membrane-integral nucleoporins (Nups) of vertebrates and, thus, the only candidate anchors for nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) within the nuclear membrane. In an accompanying study (Stavru et al.), we

Viral Subversion of the Nuclear Pore Complex
Viruses, 2013 The nuclear pore complex (NPC) acts as a selective barrier between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and is responsible for mediating communication by regulating the transport of RNA and proteins. Numerous viral pathogens have evolved different mechanisms to

The nuclear pore complex : its role in chromatin structure and RNA export [PDF]
, 2015 Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a relatively new and rapidly developing research field. It studies the mechanisms of regulation of gene expression, which although heritable, occur independently of changes in the DNA sequence and certainly aid

eLife, 2023 During apoptosis, caspases degrade 8 out of ~30 nucleoporins to irreversibly demolish the nuclear pore complex. However, for poorly understood reasons, caspases are also activated during cell differentiation.
