Regulation of Phytochrome B Nuclear Localization through Light-Dependent Unmasking of Nuclear-Localization Signals
Phytochromes are red and far-red photoreceptors that regulate plant growth and development in response to environmental light cues. Phytochromes exist in two photo-interconvertible conformational states: an inactive Pr form and an active Pfr form. The alteration of phytochromes' subcellular location functions as a major regulatory mechanism of their biological activities. Whereas phytochromes i...
متن کاملFinding nuclear localization signals.
A variety of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) are experimentally known although only one motif was available for database searches through PROSITE. We initially collected a set of 91 experimentally verified NLSs from the literature. Through iterated 'in silico mutagenesis' we then extended the set to 214 potential NLSs. This final set matched in 43% of all known nuclear proteins and in no kn...
متن کاملPrediction of Nuclear Localization Signals by HMM
The transport of nuclear proteins is a very important step for the maintenance of life. Most proteins that function in the nucleus are moved through the nuclear envelope that is penetrated by the nuclear pores. The nuclear pore is formed by a large, complex structure known as the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The NPC is a major gateway for mediating ions, small molecules, proteins, RNAs, and ribo...
متن کاملNLSdb: database of nuclear localization signals
NLSdb is a database of nuclear localization signals (NLSs) and of nuclear proteins. NLSs are short stretches of residues mediating transport of nuclear proteins into the nucleus. The database contains 114 experimentally determined NLSs that were obtained through an extensive literature search. Using 'in silico mutagenesis' this set was extended to 308 experimental and potential NLSs. This final...
متن کاملNuclear-localization-signal-dependent and nuclear-export-signal-dependent mechanisms determine the localization of 5-lipoxygenase.
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolizes arachidonic acid to leukotriene A4, a key intermediate in leukotriene biosynthesis. To explore the molecular mechanisms of its cell-specific localization, a fusion protein between green fluorescent protein (GFP) and human 5-LO (GFP-5LO) was expressed in various cells. GFP-5LO was localized in the cytosol in HL-60 cells and in both the nucleus and the cytosol in...
