TL;DR: A set of guidelines for the selection and interpretation of the methods that can be used by investigators who are attempting to examine macroautophagy and related processes, as well as by reviewers who need to provide realistic and reasonable critiques of papers that investigate these processes are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arginine-Rich Domains Present in Human Immunodeficiency Virus Type 1 Tat and Rev Function as Direct Importin β-Dependent Nuclear Localization Signals
Ray Truant,Bryan R. Cullen +1 more
TL;DR: A novel class of arginine-rich NLS sequences that are direct targets for Imp β and that therefore function independently of Imp α is defined, which may in part explain why the interaction of the Rev nuclear RNA export factor with target RNA species is efficient in the cell nucleus yet is released in the cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Binding of basal transcription factor TFIIH to the acidic activation domains of VP16 and p53.
Hua Xiao,Angela Pearson,Benoit Coulombe,Ray Truant,S Zhang,J L Regier,Steven J. Triezenberg,Danny Reinberg,O Flores,C J Ingles +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that two acidic transactivators, herpes simplex virus VP16 and human p53, directly interact with the multisubunit human general transcription factor TFIIH and its Saccharomyces cerevisiae counterpart, factor b.
Journal ArticleDOI
Huntingtin has a membrane association signal that can modulate huntingtin aggregation, nuclear entry and toxicity
TL;DR: It is proposed that huntingtin has a normal biological function as an ER-associated protein that can translocate to the nucleus and back out in response to ER stress or other events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nuclear Import of Cdk/Cyclin Complexes: Identification of Distinct Mechanisms for Import of Cdk2/Cyclin E and Cdc2/Cyclin B1
TL;DR: It is found that the nuclear import machinery recognizes these Cdk/cyclin complexes through direct interactions with the cyclin component, and surprisingly, cyclins E and B1 are imported into nuclei via distinct mechanisms.
