Higher nucleoporin-Importinβ affinity at the nuclear basket increases nucleocytoplasmic import. [PDF]
Several in vitro studies have shown the presence of an affinity gradient in nuclear pore complex proteins for the import receptor Importinβ, at least partially contributing to nucleocytoplasmic transport, while others have historically argued against the

Nucleocytoplasmic transport in apoptosis [PDF]
The apoptotic demolition of the nucleus is accomplished by diverse proapoptotic factors, most of which are activated in the cytoplasm and gain access to the nucleoplasm during the cell death process. The nucleus is also the main target for genotoxic insult, a potent apoptotic trigger.

Cell biological mechanisms of activity-dependent synapse to nucleus translocation of CRTC1 in neurons. [PDF]
Previous studies have revealed a critical role for CREB-regulated transcriptional coactivator (CRTC1) in regulating neuronal gene expression during learning and memory. CRTC1 localizes to synapses but undergoes activity-dependent nuclear translocation to

CRISPR-Cas9 screens in human cells and primary neurons identify modifiers of C9ORF72 dipeptide-repeat-protein toxicity. [PDF]
Hexanucleotide-repeat expansions in the C9ORF72 gene are the most common cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia (c9ALS/FTD).

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.

Exo70-Mediated Recruitment of Nucleoporin Nup62 at the Leading Edge of Migrating Cells is Required for Cell Migration [PDF]
Nucleoporin Nup62 localizes at the central channel of the nuclear pore complex and is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport. Through its FG-repeat domain, Nup62 regulates nuclear pore permeability and binds nuclear transport receptors.

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 ...

Simple biophysics underpins collective conformations of the intrinsically disordered proteins of the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]
Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) are key cellular transporter that control nucleocytoplasmic transport in eukaryotic cells, but its transport mechanism is still not understood.

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 ...
