English

Subject field(s)
  • Molecular Biology
CONT

The traffic through the nuclear envelope is mediated by a protein family which can be divided into exportins and importins. Binding of a molecule(a "cargo") to exportins facilitates its export to the cytoplasm. Importins facilitate import into the nucleus.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biologie moléculaire
DEF

Caryophérine du cytosol qui assure, au niveau d'un pore nucléaire, le transport vers l'intérieur du noyau de protéines pourvues d'une séquence d'importation nucléaire.

OBS

importine : terme et définition publiés au Journal officiel de la République française le 12 septembre 2019.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Genetics
  • Biochemistry
CONT

We report the cDNA deduced primary structure of a wheat germ agglutinin-reactive nuclear pore complex(NPC) protein of rat. The protein, termed Nup98(for nucleoporin of 98 kDa), contains numerous GLFG and FG repeats and some FXFG repeats and is thus a vertebrate member of a family of GLFG nucleoporins that were previously discovered in yeast.

Record 8 1994-03-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Activin, a member of the transforming growth factor-beta family of peptides, is implicated in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation in a variety of biological systems. We have sought to identify immediate early genes whose altered expression may provide a common nuclear event involved in activin-regulated phenotypic changes in many cell types. In both human K562 myelogenous leukemia and rat PC12 pheochromocytoma cells, activin treatment caused transient transcription-dependent and protein synthesis-independent increases of junB messenger RNA(mRNA) within 1 hour... [Source : PASCAL database].

OBS

Activin A not only stimulates the synthesis and release of pituitary follicle-stimulating hormones but exerts various effects on haematopoietic cells, embryos, and fibroblasts [Source: PASCAL database].

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
CONT

Les activines, des inducteurs du mésoderme axial chez le xénope et le poulet. Nous avons rapporté [...] que l'inducteur mésodermique XTC-MIF (mesoderm inducing factor dérivé de la lignée de xénope XTC), appartenant à la famille TGF B, était l'équivalent de l'activine chez Xenopus.
