Structural Biology and Regulation of Protein Import into the Nucleus.
Proteins are translated in the cytoplasm, but many need to access the nucleus to perform their functions. Understanding how these nuclear proteins are transported through the nuclear envelope and how the import processes are regulated is therefore an important aspect of understanding cell function. Structural biology has played a key role in understanding the molecular events during the transpo...
متن کاملKinetics and mechanism of DNA uptake into the cell nucleus.
Gene transfer to eukaryotic cells requires the uptake of exogenous DNA into the cell nucleus. Except during mitosis, molecular access to the nuclear interior is limited to passage through the nuclear pores. Here we demonstrate the nuclear uptake of extended linear DNA molecules by a combination of fluorescence microscopy and single-molecule manipulation techniques, using the latter to follow up...
متن کاملProtein import into mitochondria.
Most mitochondrial proteins are encoded by the nuclear genome and thus have to be imported into mitochondria from the cytosol. Protein translocation across and into the mitochondrial membranes is a multistep process facilitated by the coordinated action of at least four specialized translocation systems in the outer and inner membranes of mitochondria. The outer membrane contains one general tr...
متن کاملProtein import into chloroplasts.
Three proteins from the chloroplastic outer envelope membrane and four proteins from the inner envelope membrane have been identified as components of the chloroplastic protein import apparatus. Multiple molecular chaperones and a stromal processing peptidase are also important components of the import machinery. The interactions of these proteins with each other and with the precursors destine...
متن کاملImport of plasmid DNA into the nucleus is sequence specific.
Nuclear import of plasmid DNA in nondividing cells is a process essential to the success of numerous viral life cycles, gene therapy protocols, and gene expression experiments. Here, intact protein-free SV40 DNA was cytoplasmically injected into cells and its subcellular localization was followed by in situ hybridization. SV40 DNA localized to the nucleus consistent with a mechanism of transpor...
