The paper uses a yeast model to identify the nuclear import mechanism of SMAD3, showing that the MH1 domain functions as an importin binding surface.

This study identifies Kap-β2/Transportin as the nuclear transport receptor for β-catenin in Wnt signaling, showing its role in nuclear import and potential as a therapeutic target.

The paper identifies CBD-1 as a scaffold protein in C. elegans that forms two distinct complexes for vitelline layer assembly and egg activation, revealing its multifaceted role in eggshell formation and fertilization.
