The DNA/RNA-binding protein YB-1 (Y-box binding protein 1) performs multiple functions both in the cytoplasm and the nucleus of the cell. Generally localized to the cytoplasm, under certain conditions YB-1 is translocated to the nucleus. Here we report for the first time a transport factor that mediates YB-1 nuclear import - transportin-1. The YB-1/transportin-1 complex can be isolated from HeLa cell extract. Nuclear import of YB-1 and its truncated form YB-1 (1-219) in in vitro transport assay was diminished in the presence of a competitor substrate and ceased in the presence of transportin-1 inhibitor M9M. Inhibitors of importin β1 had no effect on YB-1 transport. Furthermore, transport of YB-1 (P201A/Y202A) and YB-1 (1-219) (P201A/Y202A) bearing inactivating mutations in the transportin-1-dependent nuclear localization signal was practically abolished. Together, these results indicate that transportin-1 mediates YB-1 nuclear translocation.

a type of orchid plant, is more drought-resistant and ornamental than other terrestrial orchids. Research has shown that many members of the transcription factor family are responsive to plant growth, development, and abiotic stress. However, the mechanism of the gene family's response to abiotic stress in orchids has not yet been reported.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension, characterized by vascular remodeling, currently lacks curative therapeutic options. The dysfunction of pulmonary artery endothelial cells plays a pivotal role in the initiation and progression of pulmonary hypertension (PH). ErbB3 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 3), also recognized as HER3, is a member of the ErbB family of receptor tyrosine kinases.

Article Synopsis
- * The modification of guanine to 8-oxo-7,8-hydroxyguanine (8-oxoG) disrupts important cellular processes, including messenger RNA translation and stability.
- * Four RNA-binding proteins (PNPase, HNRPD/Auf1, PCBP1, and YB-1) bind preferentially to 8-oxoG-modified RNA and are crucial for cell survival under oxidative stress, highlighting their importance in the oxidative stress response.
Decreased YB-1 expression denervates brown adipose tissue and contributes to age-related metabolic dysfunction.

Thermogenesis in brown adipose tissue (BAT) declines with aging, however, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here, we show that the expression of Y-box binding protein 1 (YB-1), a critical DNA/RNA binding protein, decreased in the BAT of aged mice due to the reduction of microbial metabolite butyrate. Genetic ablation of YB-1 in the BAT accelerated diet-induced obesity and BAT thermogenic dysfunction.

We report the synthesis of three neutral complexes with different coordination modes of a di-silylated metalloid germanium cluster to divalent lanthanides [(thf)Ln(η-Ge(Hyp))] (Ln = Yb (, = 1); Eu (, = 2, 3), Sm (, = 2, 3); Hyp = Si(SiMe)) by the salt metathesis of LnI with K[Ge(Hyp)] in THF. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, nuclear magnetic resonance and UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. In thf solution, the formation of contact or solvate-separated ion pairs depending on the concentration is assumed.
