The functions of herpesvirus shuttling proteins in the virus lifecycle
During viral infection, the transport of various proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm plays an important role in the viral lifecycle. Shuttling proteins are key factors in the transmission of nucleocytoplasmic information within cells and usually ...

A Review of the Role of Shuttling Proteins in Herpesvirus Replication and Pathogenesis
Herpesviruses are complex DNA viruses that rely on host-cell machinery for replication and pathogenesis. One critical aspect of their lifecycle involves the transport of viral and host proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Regulating Phase Transition in Neurodegenerative Diseases by Nuclear Import Receptors
RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) with a low-complexity prion-like domain (PLD) can undergo aberrant phase transitions and have been implicated in neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS and FTD.

Importin α and vNEBD Control Meiotic Spindle Disassembly in Fission Yeast
Summary: In metazoans, the nuclear envelope (NE) breakdown (NEBD) occurs during “open” mitosis and meiosis. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, the mitosis and the first meiotic division (MI) are “closed,” during which the NE is maintained ...

NUCLEOCYTOPLASMIC TRANSPORT: The Soluble Phase [PDF]
Active transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm involves primarily three classes of macromolecules: substrates, adaptors, and receptors. Some transport substrates bind directly to an import or an export receptor while others require one or more adaptors to mediate formation of a receptor-substrate complex.

Nuclear pore dysfunction and disease: a complex opportunity
The separation of genetic material from bulk cytoplasm has enabled the evolution of increasingly complex organisms, allowing for the development of sophisticated forms of life. However, this complexity has created new categories of dysfunction, including

Nuclear inclusion of nontargeted and chromatin-targeted polystyrene beads and plasmid DNA containing nanoparticles [PDF]
The nuclear membrane is one of the major cellular barriers in the delivery of plasmid DNA (pDNA). Cell division has a positive influence on the expression efficiency since, at the end of mitosis, pDNA or pDNA containing complexes near the chromatin are ...

Mutant NPM1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Initiation and Maintenance
NPM1 mutations drive acute myeloid leukemia by acting as neomorphic transcriptional regulators that cooperate with Menin–MLL and XPO1 to sustain HOX/MEIS1 expression and block differentiation. Targeting these mutant‐specific transcriptional dependencies provides a rational therapeutic strategy for NPM1‐mutated AML.

Time-resolved biophysical approaches to nucleocytoplasmic transport
Molecules are continuously shuttling across the nuclear envelope barrier that separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm. Instead of being just a barrier to diffusion, the nuclear envelope is rather a complex filter that provides eukaryotes with an ...
