Abstract excerpt
Phosphorylation modulates the functioning of alphaB-crystallin as a molecular chaperone. We here explore the role of phosphorylation in the nuclear import and cellular localization of alphaB-crystallin in HeLa cells. Inhibition of nuclear export demonstrated that phosphorylation of alphaB-crystal...
