Specific Nucleoporin Requirement for Smad Nuclear Translocation [PDF]
Cytoplasm-to-nucleus translocation of Smad is a fundamental step in transforming growth factor beta (TGF-beta) signal transduction. Here we identify a subset of nucleoporins that, in conjunction with Msk (Drosophila Imp7/8), specifically mediate activation-induced nuclear translocation of MAD (Drosophila Smad1) but not the constitutive import of ...

Importin 7 and Nup358 promote nuclear import of the protein component of human telomerase.
In actively dividing eukaryotic cells, chromosome ends (telomeres) are subject to progressive shortening, unless they are maintained by the action of telomerase, a dedicated enzyme that adds DNA sequence repeats to chromosomal 3'end.

Nucleoporin mediated nuclear positioning and silencing of HMR. [PDF]
The organization of chromatin domains in the nucleus is an important factor in gene regulation. In eukaryotic nuclei, transcriptionally silenced chromatin clusters at the nuclear periphery while transcriptionally poised chromatin resides in the nuclear ...

Architecture of the fungal nuclear pore inner ring complex [PDF]
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) constitutes the sole gateway for bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport. We present the reconstitution and interdisciplinary analyses of the ~425-kDa inner ring complex (IRC), which forms the central transport channel ...

Nucleoporin Nup155 is part of the p53 network in liver cancer
Cancer-relevant signalling pathways rely on bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport events through the nuclear pore complex (NPC). However, mechanisms by which individual NPC components (Nups) participate in the regulation of these pathways remain ...

ABSTRACT Arabidopsis thaliana gene At2g44130 encodes a Kelch‐like domain F‐box protein designated KFB39 and was previously shown to be specifically expressed on exposure to the oxylipin cis‐jasmone. In order to better understand the regulation of At2g44130, a forward genetic screen was carried out to identify mutants in which a promoter‐GUS fusion was ...

A SUMO-dependent feedback loop senses and controls the biogenesis of nuclear pore subunits
The nuclear pore complex is crucial for mediating nucleocytoplasmic exchanges. Here the authors use budding yeast to reveal a mechanism responsible of maintaining nucleoporin homeostasis by sensing changes in the complex integrity and further altering ...

Deregulated enhancer‐promoter communication in cancer through altered nuclear architecture
Abstract Enhancers are critical regulators of gene expression. Structural variations in cancer genomes can lead to enhancer hijacking, where oncogenes are activated by mistargeted enhancer activity. Novel enhancer‐promoter interactions may also arise through chromosomal rearrangements that create extrachromosomal DNA elements.

The Nucleoporin RanBP2 Has SUMO1 E3 Ligase Activity [PDF]
Posttranslational modification with SUMO1 regulates protein/protein interactions, localization, and stability. SUMOylation requires the E1 enzyme Aos1/Uba2 and the E2 enzyme Ubc9. A family of E3-like factors, PIAS proteins, was discovered recently. Here we show that the nucleoporin RanBP2/Nup358 also has SUMO1 E3-like activity.
