Release of condensin from mitotic chromosomes requires the Ran-GTP gradient in the reorganized nucleus

open access: yesBiology Open, 2017
After mitosis, nuclear reorganization occurs together with decondensation of mitotic chromosomes and reformation of the nuclear envelope, thereby restoring the Ran-GTP gradient between the nucleus and cytoplasm.

Mechanisms of Nuclear Export in Cancer and Resistance to Chemotherapy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
YesTumour suppressor proteins, such as p53, BRCA1, and ABC, play key roles in preventing the development of a malignant phenotype, but those that function as transcriptional regulators need to enter the nucleus in order to function.

Diversification of importin-α isoforms in cellular trafficking and disease states. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The human genome encodes seven isoforms of importin α which are grouped into three subfamilies known as α1, α2 and α3. All isoforms share a fundamentally conserved architecture that consists of an N-terminal, autoinhibitory, importin-β-binding (IBB ...

Structural and Functional Characterization of CRM1-Nup214 Interactions Reveals Multiple FG-Binding Sites Involved in Nuclear Export

open access: yesCell Reports, 2015
CRM1 is the major nuclear export receptor. During translocation through the nuclear pore, transport complexes transiently interact with phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeats of multiple nucleoporins. On the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore, CRM1 tightly

Viral and Cellular Requirements for the Nuclear Entry of Retroviral Preintegration Nucleoprotein Complexes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Retroviruses integrate their reverse transcribed genomes into host cell chromosomes as an obligate step in virus replication. The nuclear envelope separates the chromosomes from the cell cytoplasm during interphase, and different retroviral groups deal ...

ARHI (DIRAS 3), an Imprinted Tumor Suppressor Gene, Binds to Importins, and Blocks Nuclear Translocation of Stat3 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
ARHI (DIRAS3) is an imprinted tumor suppressor gene whose expression is lost in the majority of breast and ovarian cancers. Unlike its homologs Ras and Rap, ARHI functions as a tumor suppressor.

Animal Female Meiosis: The Challenges of Eliminating Centrosomes

open access: yesCells, 2018
Sexual reproduction requires the generation of gametes, which are highly specialised for fertilisation. Female reproductive cells, oocytes, grow up to large sizes when they accumulate energy stocks and store proteins as well as mRNAs to enable rapid cell

Nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of proteins and RNA in plants [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Merkle T. Nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of proteins and RNA in plants. Plant Cell Reports. 2011;30(2):153-176.Transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm is an essential necessity in eukaryotic cells, since the nuclear envelope ...

Structural Basis for RanGTP Independent Entry of Spliceosomal U snRNPs into the Nucleus

open access: yesJournal of Molecular Biology, 2007
The nuclear import of assembled spliceosomal subunits, the uridine-rich small nuclear ribonucleoprotein particles (U snRNPs), is mediated by a nuclear import receptor adaptor couple of importin beta (Imp beta) and snurportin1 (SPN1). In contrast to any other characterized active nuclear import, the Imp beta/SPN1/U snRNP complex does not require RanGTP ...
