Roles of Nuclear Pores and Nucleo-cytoplasmic Trafficking in Plant Stress Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large protein complex that controls the exchange of components between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In plants, the NPC family components play critical roles not only in essential growth and developmental processes, but also in plant responses to various environmental stress conditions. The involvement of NPC components in plant stress responses is mainly attributed to different mechanisms including control of mRNA/protein nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking and transcriptional gene regulation. This mini review summarizes current knowledge of the NPC-mediated plant stress responses and provides an overview of the underlying molecular mechanisms.

Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Inheritance of Salt Tolerance in Bread Wheat Plants Based on Ion Contents and Biological Yield
Although inter-variety variability for salt tolerance has been reported in bread wheat plants, little information is available on the genetic control of ion contents and biomass yield under saline conditions. A diallel cross, including reciprocals of two salt tolerant, two moderately tolerant and two sensitive Iranian and exotic bread wheat varieties, was analyzed to investigate the inheritance...
متن کاملA simple kinetic model with explicit predictions for nuclear transport.
Molecular exchange between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm is one of the most fundamental features of eukaryotic cell biology. The nuclear pores act as a conduit of this transport, both for cargo that crosses the pore autonomously as well as that whose translocation requires an intermediary receptor. The major class of such receptors is regulated by the small GTPase Ran, via whose interaction th...
متن کاملNuclear Imprisonment: Viral Strategies to Arrest Host mRNA Nuclear Export
Viruses possess many strategies to impair host cellular responses to infection. Nuclear export of host messenger RNAs (mRNA) that encode antiviral factors is critical for antiviral protein production and control of viral infections. Several viruses have evolved sophisticated strategies to inhibit nuclear export of host mRNAs, including targeting mRNA export factors and nucleoporins to compromis...
متن کاملDynamic Association of NUP98 with the Human Genome
Faithful execution of developmental gene expression programs occurs at multiple levels and involves many different components such as transcription factors, histone-modification enzymes, and mRNA processing proteins. Recent evidence suggests that nucleoporins, well known components that control nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking, have wide-ranging functions in developmental gene regulation that pot...
متن کاملRumble in the nuclear jungle: compartmentalization, trafficking, and nuclear action of plant immune receptors.
Plants and animals have evolved structurally related innate immune sensors inside cells to detect the presence of microbial molecules. An evolutionary ancient folding machinery becomes engaged for the synthesis of autorepressed receptor forms in both kingdoms. The receptors act as regulatory signal transduction switches and are activated upon direct or indirect perception of non-self structures...
