Directed inhibition of nuclear import in cellular hypertrophy.
Each nuclear pore is responsible for both nuclear import and export with a finite capacity for bidirectional transport across the nuclear envelope. It remains poorly understood how the nuclear transport pathway responds to increased demands for nucleocytoplasmic communication. A case in point is cellular hypertrophy in which increased amounts of genetic material need to be transported from the ...
متن کاملInhibition of nuclear import of calcineurin prevents myocardial hypertrophy.
The time that transcription factors remain nuclear is a major determinant for transcriptional activity. It has recently been demonstrated that the phosphatase calcineurin is translocated to the nucleus with the transcription factor nuclear factor of activated T cells (NF-AT). This study identifies a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) and a nuclear export signal (NES) in the sequence of calcine...
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...
متن کاملCellular stresses induce the nuclear accumulation of importin α and cause a conventional nuclear import block
We report here that importin alpha accumulates reversibly in the nucleus in response to cellular stresses including UV irradiation, oxidative stress, and heat shock. The nuclear accumulation of importin alpha appears to be triggered by a collapse in the Ran gradient, resulting in the suppression of the nuclear export of importin alpha. In addition, nuclear retention and the importin beta/Ran-in...
متن کاملInhibition of nuclear import and alteration of nuclear pore complex composition by rhinovirus.
Nucleocytoplasmic trafficking pathways and the status of nuclear pore complex (NPC) components were examined in cells infected with rhinovirus type 14. A variety of shuttling and nonshuttling nuclear proteins, using multiple nuclear import pathways, accumulated in the cytoplasm of cells infected with rhinovirus. An in vitro nuclear import assay with semipermeabilized infected cells confirmed th...
