Tubulin is actively exported from the nucleus through the Exportin1/CRM1 pathway

Abstract: Microtubules of all eukaryotic cells are formed by α- and β-tubulin heterodimers. In addition to the well known cytoplasmic tubulins, a subpopulation of tubulin can occur in the nucleus. So far, the potential function of nuclear tubulin has remained elusive. In this work, we show that α- and β-tubulins of various organisms contain multiple conserved nuclear export sequences, which are potential targets of the Exportin 1/CRM1 pathway. We demonstrate exemplarily that these NES motifs are sufficient to mediate ex… Show more

“…As a MTOC docking protein, CRM1 facilitates microtubule nucleation at the NPC periphery [70]. Several cell-death-related processes, such as autophagy and apoptosis, which are activated under stress, rely on the microtubule system [71,72]. Still, the biological implications of the nuclear retention of MTOC-related proteins, which has been reported in cancer cells, have remained unclear [73,74].…”

“…We used cytoplasmic nuclear separation technology to detect YAP expression in the nucleus. As tubulin protein expression has been reported in the nucleus ( Schwarzerová et al, 2019 ), we switched to a glycolysis-related enzyme, enolase 1, as a cytoplasmic protein marker. The expression of enolase 1 is not affected by serine deprivation ( Supplementary Figure 4A ).…”

“…The tubulin proteins belong to microtubule proteins, which play an important role in the synthesis of the cytoskeleton (He et al 2008). Microtubules of all eukaryotic cells are formed by α-and β-tubulin heterodimers (Schwarzerová et al 2019). Microtubules are core element of the cytoskeleton and act a pivotal function in cellular migration, mitosis, mechanical stress, cell polarity, intracellular transport, cell division, and cell morphogenesis (He et al 2008).…”
