Abstract excerpt
The Ets transcription factor PU.1 is an essential regulator of normal hematopoiesis, especially within the myeloid lineage. As such, endogenous PU.1 predominantly localizes to the nucleus of mammalian cells to facilitate gene regulation. However, to date, little is known regarding the mechanisms of PU.1 nuclear transport. We found, using HeLa and RAW 264.7 macrophage cells, that PU.1 enters the nucleus via...
