Three nuclear localization signals (NLS), including an unusual Mat alpha 2-like NLS from maize (Zea mays) R, were found to compete for binding to plant nuclei. In addition, the authentic yeast Mat alpha 2 NLS, which does not function in mammals, was shown to function in plants in vivo. Our results indicate that plants possess a site at the nuclear pore complex that recognizes the three known classes of NLSs.
研究发现,三种核定位信号(NLS),包括来自玉米(Zea mays)R的一种不同寻常的类似Mat alpha 2的NLS,能够竞争与植物细胞核的结合。此外,在哺乳动物中不起作用的正宗酵母Mat alpha 2 NLS在植物体内具有功能。我们的结果表明,植物在核孔复合体上拥有一个能识别三类已知NLS的位点。
