Let go or retain: role of calmodulin in orchestrating nuclear protein transport in eukaryotes

Key Points

• Nuclear protein transport is significantly influenced by calmodulin's activity, enhancing cellular functioning.
• Key evidence shows that disruption of calmodulin leads to impaired nuclear transport and cellular signaling.
• Analysis of protein transport dynamics reveals the essential role of calmodulin in eukaryotic cells.
• Understanding calmodulin's role may enable novel therapeutic strategies targeting protein transport shortcomings.
