Walther, Tobias C., Fornerod, Maarten, Pickersgill, Helen, Goldberg, Martin, Allen, Terry D., Mattaj, Iain W.

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large proteinaceous structure through which bidirectional transport of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope (NE) takes place. Nup153 is a peripheral NPC...

Luc7p, a novel yeast U1 snRNP protein with a role in 5′ splice site recognition

Fortes, Puri, Bilbao-Cortés, Daniel, Fornerod, Maarten, Rigaut, Guillaume, Raymond, Wendy, Séraphin, Bertrand, ...

The characterization of a novel yeast-splicing factor, Luc7p, is presented. The LUC7 gene was identified by a mutation that causes lethality in a yeast strain lacking the nuclear cap-binding complex...

Nup358/RanBP2 Attaches to the Nuclear Pore Complex via Association with Nup88 and Nup214/CAN and Plays a Supporting Role in CRM1-Mediated Nuclear Protein Export

Bernad, Rafael, Van Der Velde, Hella, Fornerod, Maarten, Pickersgill, Helen

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) traverse the nuclear envelope (NE), providing a channel through which nucleocytoplasmic transport occurs. Nup358/RanBP2, Nup214/CAN, and Nup88 are components of the...

Supraphysiological nuclear export signals bind CRM1 independently of RanGTP and arrest at Nup358

Engelsma, Dieuwke, Bernad, Rafael, Calafat, Jero, Fornerod, Maarten

Leucine-rich nuclear export signals (NESs) mediate rapid nuclear export of proteins via interaction with CRM1. This interaction is stimulated by RanGTP but remains of a relatively low affinity. In...

RanBP3 influences interactions between CRM1 and its nuclear protein export substrates

Englmeier, Ludwig, Fornerod, Maarten, Bischoff, F. Ralf, Petosa, Carlo, Mattaj, Iain W., Kutay, Ulrike

We investigated the role of RanBP3, a nuclear member of the Ran-binding protein 1 family, in CRM1-mediated protein export in higher eukaryotes. RanBP3 interacts directly with CRM1 and also forms a...

RanBP3 enhances nuclear export of active β-catenin independently of CRM1

Hendriksen, Jolita, Fagotto, Francois, Van Der Velde, Hella, Van Schie, Martijn, Noordermeer, Jasprien, Fornerod, Maarten

β-Catenin is the nuclear effector of the Wnt signaling cascade. The mechanism by which nuclear activity of β-catenin is regulated is not well defined. Therefore, we used the nuclear marker RanGTP...

RAE1 Is a Shuttling mRNA Export Factor That Binds to a GLEBS-like NUP98 Motif at the Nuclear Pore Complex through Multiple Domains

Pritchard, Colin E.J., Fornerod, Maarten, Kasper, Lawryn H.

Gle2p is implicated in nuclear export of poly(A)+ RNA and nuclear pore complex (NPC) structure and distribution in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Gle2p is anchored at the nuclear envelope (NE) via a short...
