Parvoviral nuclear import: bypassing the host nuclear-transport machinery.
The parvovirus Minute virus of mice (MVM) is a small DNA virus that replicates in the nucleus of its host cells. However, very little is known about the mechanisms underlying parvovirus' nuclear import. Recently, it was found that microinjection of MVM into the cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes causes damage to the nuclear envelope (NE), suggesting that the nuclear-import mechanism of MVM involves d...
متن کاملDissecting the Signaling Events That Impact Classical Nuclear Import and Target Nuclear Transport Factors
BACKGROUND Signaling through MEK-->ERK1/2 and PI3 kinases is implicated in many aspects of cell physiology, including the survival of oxidant exposure. Oxidants play a role in numerous physiological and pathophysiological processes, many of which rely on transport in and out of the nucleus. However, how oxidative stress impacts nuclear trafficking is not well defined. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FI...
متن کاملHepatitis C virus and host cell nuclear transport machinery: a clandestine affair
There is growing evidence that factors encoded by cytoplasmic replicating viruses functionally interact with components of the nucleocytoplasmic transport apparatus. They do so either to access the cell nucleus, thus affecting genes expression, or to interfere with nuclear transport functionality, hindering host immune response. Recent studies revealed that the hepatitis C virus (HCV) makes no ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Localization of the Nuclear Transport Machinery Couples Transcriptional Status and Nuclear Organization
The association of genes with the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and nuclear transport factors has been implicated in transcriptional regulation. We therefore examined the association of components of the nuclear transport machinery including karyopherins, nucleoporins, and the Ran guanine-nucleotide exchange factor (RanGEF) with the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome. We find that most nucleoporins a...
متن کاملIn vitro nuclear import
T he nuclear pore serves as the gateway to the nucleus, allowing molecules to slip in and out. A technique devised by Larry Gerace (Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, California) and colleagues helped researchers ferret out the biochemical details of nuclear import and export, identifying the driving force as the protein Ran. The same system helped scientists pinpoint the proteins that fer...
