Importin α Characterizes a Micronuclear Environment Associated with Genomic Instability in Human Cancer Cells
2023-06-07
Abstract excerpt
Micronuclei (MN) are membrane-enclosed chromatin bodies and hallmarks of genome instability. Here, we report that importin α, a key nuclear transport factor, is highly concentrated in a distinct subset of MN in cultured human cancer cells. This selective localization is not governed by classical nuclear transport pathways. Live-cell photobleaching revealed remarkably reduced mobility of importin α between MN and c...
