Non-transport roles of nuclear import receptors: In need of the right balance
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Nuclear import receptors ensure the recognition and transport of proteins across the nuclear envelope into the nucleus. In addition, as diverse processes as mitosis, post-translational modifications at mitotic exit, ciliogenesis, and phase separation ...

Parallel import mechanisms ensure the robust nuclear localization of actin in Drosophila
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022 Actin, as an ancient and fundamental protein, participates in various cytoplasmic as well as nuclear functions in eukaryotic cells. Based on its manifold tasks in the nucleus, it is a reasonable assumption that the nuclear presence of actin is essential ...

A system-wide mislocalization of RNA-binding proteins in motor neurons is a new feature of ALS
Neurobiology of Disease, 2021 Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a motor neuron disease characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Mislocalization of TAR DNA-binding protein 43 (TDP-43) is an early event in the formation of cytoplasmic TDP-43-positive inclusions ...

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.

Extensive cargo identification reveals distinct biological roles of the 12 importin pathways
eLife, 2017 Vast numbers of proteins are transported into and out of the nuclei by approximately 20 species of importin-β family nucleocytoplasmic transport receptors.

Nuclear Localization Signals for Optimization of Genetically Encoded Tools in Neurons
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2022 Nuclear transport in neurons differs from that in non-neuronal cells. Here we developed a non-opsin optogenetic tool (OT) for the nuclear export of a protein of interest induced by near-infrared (NIR) light.

Structure-based nuclear import mechanism of histones H3 and H4 mediated by Kap123
eLife, 2017 Kap123, a major karyopherin protein of budding yeast, recognizes the nuclear localization signals (NLSs) of cytoplasmic histones H3 and H4 and translocates them into the nucleus during DNA replication.

Molecular determinants of large cargo transport into the nucleus
eLife, 2020 Nucleocytoplasmic transport is tightly regulated by the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Among the thousands of molecules that cross the NPC, even very large (>15 nm) cargoes such as pathogens, mRNAs and pre-ribosomes can pass the NPC intact.

eLife, 2021 The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the sole and selective gateway for nuclear transport, and its dysfunction has been associated with many diseases. The metazoan NPC subcomplex RanBP2, which consists of RanBP2 (Nup358), RanGAP1-SUMO1, and Ubc9, regulates ...
