Nuclear localization signal(s) required for nuclear targeting of the maize regulatory protein Opaque-2.
The maize regulatory protein Opaque-2 (O2) localizes to the nucleus in both maize and tobacco cells. Here we show that in-frame carboxy- and amino-terminal fusions of O2 to reporter protein beta-glucuronidase (GUS) were sufficient to direct GUS to the nucleus in transgenic tobacco plants and in transiently transformed onion cells. Two independent regions of O2 containing 135 and 149 amino acids...
متن کاملNuclear targeting of the maize R protein requires two nuclear localization sequences.
Previous genetic and structural evidence indicates that the maize R gene encodes a nuclear transcriptional activating factor. In-frame carboxyl- and amino-terminal fusions of the R gene to the reporter gene encoding beta-glucuronidase (GUS) were sufficient to direct GUS to the nucleus of the transiently transformed onion (Allium cepa) epidermal cells. Further analysis of chimeric constructs con...
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 کاملIdentification of nuclear and nucleolar localization signals of pseudorabies virus (PRV) early protein UL54 reveals that its nuclear targeting is required for efficient production of PRV.
The pseudorabies virus (PRV) early protein UL54 is a homologue of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) immediate-early protein ICP27, which is a multifunctional protein that is essential for HSV-1 infection. In this study, the subcellular localization and nuclear import signals of PRV UL54 were characterized. UL54 was shown to predominantly localize to the nucleolus in transfected cells. By construct...
متن کاملIdentification of nuclear and nucleolar localization signals in the herpes simplex virus regulatory protein ICP27.
Previous work has shown that the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) regulatory protein ICP27 localizes to the cell nucleus and that certain mutant ICP27 polypeptides localize preferentially in nucleoli. To map the signals in ICP27 which mediate its nuclear localization, we identified the portions of ICP27 which can direct a cytoplasmic protein, pyruvate kinase (PK), to nuclei. Our results demo...
