Evolution: functional evolution of nuclear structure. [PDF]
, 2011 The evolution of the nucleus, the defining feature of eukaryotic cells, was long shrouded in speculation and mystery. There is now strong evidence that nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and nuclear membranes coevolved with the endomembrane system, and that ...

Role of the bone morphogenic protein pathway in developmental haemopoiesis and leukaemogenesis [PDF]
, 2016 Myeloid leukaemias share the common characteristics of being stem cell-derived clonal diseases, characterised by excessive proliferation of one or more myeloid lineage.

Human Cyclophilins—An Emerging Class of Drug Targets
Medicinal Research Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cyclophilins are a family of enzymes with peptidyl‐prolyl isomerase activity found in all cells of all organisms. To date, 17 cyclophilin isoforms have been identified in the human body, participating in diverse biological processes. Consequently, cyclophilins have emerged as promising targets for drug development to address a wide array of ...

Prion formation by a yeast GLFG nucleoporin [PDF]
Prion, 2012 The self-assembly of proteins into higher order structures is both central to normal biology and a dominant force in disease. Certain glutamine/asparagine (Q/N)-rich proteins in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae assemble into self-replicating amyloid-like protein polymers, or prions, that act as genetic elements in an entirely protein-based ...

The Structure Inventory of the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]
, 2018 The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the principal gateway for molecular exchange between nucleus and cytoplasm across the nuclear envelope. Due to its sheer size of estimated 50-112 MDa and its complex buildup from about 500-1000 individual proteins, it is

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.A novel assay evaluates plant biostimulants targeting the brassinosteroid receptor BRI1, a central component in plant growth and development. By expressing BRI1 in fission yeast, functional activation by brassinolide (BL) was enabled. Transcriptomic profiling identified BL‐responsive genes, leading to a GFP‐based reporter system. This platform offers a

Deciphering the 'fuzzy' interaction of FG nucleoporins and transport factors using SANS
, 2018 The largely intrinsically disordered phenylalanine-glycine-rich nucleoporins (FG Nups) underline a selectivity mechanism, which enables the rapid translocation of transport factors (TFs) through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs).

Cas9 beyond CRISPR – SUMOylation, effector‐like potential and pathogenic adaptation
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.This Viewpoint explores the possibility that Cas9, beyond its canonical role in CRISPR immunity, may act as a host‐modulating effector during infection by Cas9‐encoding bacteria. Such a nucleomodulin‐like function could be influenced by eukaryotic post‐translational modifications, particularly SUMOylation, with potential implications for host–pathogen ...

A mosaic of old and young nucleoporins [PDF]
Journal of Cell Biology, 2019 Some nucleoporins, the nuclear pore complex (NPC) components, have exceptionally long lifetimes. In this issue, Toyama et al. (2019. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201809123) report that NPCs are maintained by a slow piecemeal replacement of NPC components in dividing and terminally differentiated cells and by whole-pore exchange in ...
