Abstract excerpt
Cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)2/cyclin E is imported into nuclei assembled in Xenopus egg extracts by a pathway that requires importin-alpha and -beta. Here, we identify a basic nuclear localization sequence (NLS) in the N-terminus of Xenopus cyclin E. Mutation of the NLS eliminated nuclear accumulation of both cyclin E and Cdk2, and such versions of cyclin E were unable to trigger DNA replication. Addition of a...
