Structural basis for the nuclear protein import cycle.
Transport of macromolecules between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments through NPCs (nuclear pore complexes) is mediated by soluble transport factors that are commonly members of the importin-beta superfamily. In the nuclear protein import cycle, importin-beta binds cargo in the cytoplasm (usually via the importin-alpha adaptor) and transports it through NPCs with which it interacts trans...
متن کاملStructural basis of nuclear import of flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1).
Flap endonuclease 1 (FEN1) is a member of the nuclease family and is structurally conserved from bacteriophages to humans. This protein is involved in multiple DNA-processing pathways, including Okazaki fragment maturation, stalled replication-fork rescue, telomere maintenance, long-patch base-excision repair and apoptotic DNA fragmentation. FEN1 has three functional motifs that are responsible...
متن کاملA Novel Nuclear Import Pathway for the Transcription Factor TFIIS
We have identified a novel pathway for protein import into the nucleus. We have shown that the previously identified but uncharacterized yeast protein Nmd5p functions as a karyopherin. It was therefore designated Kap119p (karyopherin with Mr of 119 kD). We localized Kap119p to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. We identified the transcription elongation factor TFIIS as its major cognate import...
متن کاملStructural basis for m3G-cap-mediated nuclear import of spliceosomal UsnRNPs by snurportin1.
In higher eukaryotes the biogenesis of spliceosomal UsnRNPs involves a nucleocytoplasmic shuttling cycle. After the m7G-cap-dependent export of the snRNAs U1, U2, U4 and U5 to the cytoplasm, each of these snRNAs associates with seven Sm proteins. Subsequently, the m7G-cap is hypermethylated to the 2,2,7-trimethylguanosine (m3G)-cap. The import adaptor snurportin1 recognises the m3G-cap and faci...
متن کاملSensing actin dynamics: structural basis for G-actin-sensitive nuclear import of MAL.
The coordination of cytoskeletal actin dynamics with gene expression reprogramming is emerging as a crucial mechanism to control diverse cellular processes, including cell migration, differentiation and neuronal circuit assembly. The actin-binding transcriptional coactivator MAL (also known as MRTF-A/MKL1/BSAC) senses G-actin concentration and transduces Rho GTPase signals to serum response fac...
