J. Wischnewski et al., Structure and expression of Xenopus karyopherin-beta 3: definition of a novel synexpression group related to ribosome biogenesis, MECH DEVEL, 95(1-2), 2000, pp. 245-248
Karyopherin-beta 3 is a nuclear transport receptor that appears to be invol
ved in nuclear import of ribosomal proteins. Here we report on sequence and
expression of karyopherin-beta 3 in Xenopus. The differential distribution
of karyopherin-beta 3 mRNA during Xenopus embryogenesis is similar to that
of several other protein import factors and of ribosomal proteins. These g
enes thus define a novel synexpression group in the context of ribosome bio
genesis. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
