V. Tomasi et al., Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase is responsible for intranuclear localization of some oligonucleotides, NUCLEOS NUC, 20(4-7), 2001, pp. 863-867
Nuclear accumulation of ODNs has been associated with their binding to a se
ries of nuclear proteins. These interactions could be responsible for the s
equence-independent effects of ODNs as well as for their sequence-specific
interactions and their intracellular distribution. Investigation of interac
tion of ODNs with these proteins may shed light on the mechanisms of cellul
ar uptake and nuclear accumulation of oligonucleotides.
