Components and regulation of nuclear transport processes [PDF]
The spatial separation of DNA replication and gene transcription in the nucleus and protein translation in the cytoplasm is a uniform principle of eukaryotic cells. This compartmentalization imposes a requirement for a transport network of macromolecules

Probing the extent of importin‐α targeting of the TAF8 NLS by eliminating its cationic net‐charge
Abstract The nucleus, as the control center of the eukaryotic cell, is a prime target for therapeutic interventions due to its role in regulating genetic material. Importin‐α is critical for successful nuclear import as it recognizes and binds to cargo proteins bearing a classical nuclear localization signal (NLS), which facilitates their transport ...

RanGTP-Binding Protein NXT1 Facilitates Nuclear Export of Different Classes of RNA In Vitro [PDF]
To better characterize the mechanisms responsible for RNA export from the nucleus, we developed an in vitro assay based on the use of permeabilized HeLa cells. This new assay supports nuclear export of U1 snRNA, tRNA, and mRNA in an energy- and Xenopus extract-dependent manner.

Nuclear-cytoplasmic trafficking of NTF2, the nuclear import receptor for the RanGTPase, is subjected to regulation. [PDF]
NTF2 is a cytosolic protein responsible for nuclear import of Ran, a small Ras-like GTPase involved in a number of critical cellular processes, including cell cycle regulation, chromatin organization during mitosis, reformation of the nuclear envelope ...

Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 interacts with regulator of chromosome condensation 1 dynamically throughout the cell cycle [PDF]
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) is a sequence-specific DNA binding protein which plays an essential role in viral episome replication and segregation, by recruiting the cellular complex of DNA replication onto the origin (oriP) and

Chromenone Derivatives as CRM1 Inhibitors for Targeting Glioblastoma
Chromenone derivatives are synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of chromosome region maintenance 1‐mediated nuclear export, targeting glioblastoma cells. Active compounds demonstrate structure‐ and dose‐dependent inhibition, supported by structure–activity relationships and molecular docking studies.

Spindle Assembly in the Absence of a RanGTP Gradient Requires Localized CPC Activity [PDF]
During animal cell division, a gradient of GTP-bound Ran is generated around mitotic chromatin [1, 2]. It is generally accepted that this RanGTP gradient is essential for organizing the spindle since it locally activates critical spindle assembly factors [3–5].

Centromere Protein F in Tumor Biology: Cancer's Achilles Heel
ABSTRACT Background Centromere protein F (CENP‐F) is an important nuclear matrix protein that regulates mitosis and the cell cycle, and plays a crucial role in recruiting spindle checkpoint proteins to maintain the accuracy of chromosome segregation.

Identification of different roles for RanGDP and RanGTP in nuclear protein import. [PDF]
The importin-alpha/beta heterodimer and the GTPase Ran play key roles in nuclear protein import. Importin binds the nuclear localization signal (NLS). Translocation of the resulting import ligand complex through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) requires Ran and is terminated at the nucleoplasmic side by its disassembly.
