Characterization of karyopherin cargoes reveals unique mechanisms of Kap121p-mediated nuclear import.

abstract：:The precise expression of the N-myc proto-oncogene is essential for normal mammalian development, whereas altered N-myc gene regulation is known to be a determinant factor in tumor formation. Using transgenic mouse embryos, we show that N-myc sequences from kb -8.7 to kb +7.2 are sufficient to reproduce the N-myc embr...
