Target Information

Nucleocytoplasmic transport, a signal- and energy-dependent process, occurs through nuclear pore complexes embedded in the nuclear envelope. The import of proteins containing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) requires the NLS import receptor, a heterodimer of importin alpha and beta subunits (karyopherins). Importin alpha binds the NLS-containing cargo in the cytoplasm, while importin beta docks the complex at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex. In the presence of nucleoside triphosphates and the small GTP-binding protein Ran, the complex translocates into the nuclear pore complex and the importin subunits dissociate. Importin alpha enters the nucleoplasm with its passenger protein, and importin beta remains at the pore. Interactions between importin beta and the FG repeats of nucleoporins are essential for translocation through the pore complex. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the importin beta family.
