Viral Appropriation: Laying Claim to Host Nuclear Transport Machinery
Cells, 2019 Protein nuclear transport is an integral process to many cellular pathways and often plays a critical role during viral infection. To overcome the barrier presented by the nuclear membrane and gain access to the nucleus, virally encoded proteins have ...

The Role of Protein Disorder in Nuclear Transport and in Its Subversion by Viruses
Cells, 2020 The transport of host proteins into and out of the nucleus is key to host function. However, nuclear transport is restricted by nuclear pores that perforate the nuclear envelope.

Nuclear Transport of Yeast Proteasomes [PDF]
Biomolecules, 2014 Proteasomes are conserved protease complexes enriched in the nuclei of dividing yeast cells, a major site for protein degradation. If yeast cells do not proliferate and transit to quiescence, metabolic changes result in the dissociation of proteasomes ...
