[HTML][HTML] Step-wise methylation of histone H3K9 positions heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery

…, R Sack, D Gaidatzis, V Kalck, P Meister, P Askjaer… - Cell, 2012 - cell.com
The factors that sequester transcriptionally repressed heterochromatin at the nuclear
periphery are currently unknown. In a genome-wide RNAi screen, we found that depletion of S-…

[HTML][HTML] The specificity of the CRM1-Rev nuclear export signal interaction is mediated by RanGTP

P Askjaer, TH Jensen, J Nilsson, L Englmeier… - Journal of Biological …, 1998 - ASBMB
Nuclear export of intron-containing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) RNA is
mediated by the viral Rev protein that contains both an RNA binding domain specific for the …

Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome: A premature aging disease caused by LMNA gene mutations

S Gonzalo, R Kreienkamp, P Askjaer - Ageing research reviews, 2017 - Elsevier
Products of the LMNA gene, primarily lamin A and C, are key components of the nuclear
lamina, a proteinaceous meshwork that underlies the inner nuclear membrane and is essential …

MEL‐28/ELYS is required for the recruitment of nucleoporins to chromatin and postmitotic nuclear pore complex assembly

…, S Yavuz, R Santarella, M Gentzel, P Askjaer… - EMBO …, 2007 - embopress.org
The metazoan nuclear envelope (NE) breaks down and re‐forms during each cell cycle.
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), which allow nucleocytoplasmic transport during interphase, …

RanGTP mediates nuclear pore complex assembly

TC Walther, P Askjaer, M Gentzel, A Habermann… - Nature, 2003 - nature.com
In metazoa, the nuclear envelope breaks down and reforms during each cell cycle. Nuclear
pore complexes (NPCs), which serve as channels for transport between the nucleus and …

Caenorhabditis elegans BAF‐1 and its kinase VRK‐1 participate directly in post‐mitotic nuclear envelope assembly

…, R Santarella, C López‐Iglesias, P Askjaer… - The EMBO …, 2007 - embopress.org
Barrier‐to‐autointegration factor (BAF) is an essential, highly conserved, metazoan protein.
BAF interacts with LEM (LAP2, emerin, MAN1) domain‐carrying proteins of the inner nuclear …

RanGTP-regulated interactions of CRM1 with nucleoporins and a shuttling DEAD-box helicase

P Askjaer, A Bachi, M Wilm, FR Bischoff… - … and cellular biology, 1999 - Taylor & Francis
CRM1 is an export receptor mediating rapid nuclear exit of proteins and RNAs to the
cytoplasm. CRM1 export cargoes include proteins with a leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) …
