O-phenantroline-CuSO4-induced redistribution of nuclear proteins
Abstract:
Incubation of rat liver nuclei with the o-phenantroline-CuSO4 (OP-Cu) complex under conditions not causing any DNA cleavage, enhanced the susceptibility of chromatin to the action of micrococcal nuclease. The released nucleosomal fraction had less coextracted nonhistone proteins, while the nuclear matrix was enriched in nonhistone proteins when compared with the controls. These changes were interpreted as the consequence of a displacement of nonhistone proteins from their closer association with the chromatin complex and a concomitant exposure of chromatin regions in a state less protected by nonhistone proteins.

Nuclear Protein Sorting
Proteins targeted to the nucleus carry nuclear localization signals or NLS recognized by import receptors in the cytosol. Similarly, proteins with nuclear export signals are recognized by export receptors. Import and export receptors are...

Translocation of Proteins into the Mitochondria
Sorting of outer membrane proteins:
Mitochondrial outer membrane proteins are of two types: the transmembrane, beta-barrel porins, and the membrane-anchored, alpha-helical proteins. Beta-barrel porin precursors are translocated by the TOM complex and inserted into the outer mitochondrial membrane by the SAM complex. In contrast,...
