It has been demonstrated that 14-3-3 proteins are present in the nuclei of Arabidopsis thaliana and Zea mays cells using laser scanning confocal microscopy and immunocytochemistry with monoclonal antibodies against plant 14-3-3 proteins. Confirmation of nuclear localization provides insight into the range of functions normally attributed to 14-3-3 proteins, especially since the association of 14-3-3s with transcription factors is (thus far) a phenomenon unique to plants, and since 14-3-3 proteins do not possess a recognizable nuclear targeting sequence.
