Descripción

Descripción general

Importin β1 has 19 tandemly repeated HEAT (huntingtin, elongation factor 3 (EF3), protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and the yeast kinase TOR1) motifs.[1] The gene is mapped to human chromosome 17q21.[2] The protein shuttles between the cytoplasm and nucleus. It belongs to the importin β family of proteins.[3]

Import receptor, prototype of the nuclear transport receptor family, which interact directly with nuclear pore complex (NPC) and mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport.

Importin β, an import receptor, is a prototype of the nuclear transport receptor family, which comprises in human more than 20 proteins (90-180 kDa). These proteins interact directly with nuclear pore complex (NPC) and mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. Importin β imports into the nucleus proteins carrying canonical nuclear localization signals (NLS) as well as UsnRNAs, which it binds via adaptor proteins, importin α and snurpotin-1 respectively. Importin β also binds directly, without adaptors, ribosomal proteins, Smad proteins, and virus derived proteins such as HIV Rev and Tat, that contain non classical NLS. In addition, Improtin b has been shown to be involved in the nuclear envelope assembly process.
The mechanism of importin β action in nuclear import can be demonstrated by the well-studied import of proteins containing classical NLS. Importin β forms a complex with Importin α, which, in turn, binds the cargo protein via its NLS. The Impβ/Impα/cargo complex translocates into the nucleus. When the complex reaches the nuclear site of the NPC, Ran-GTP binds the Impβ to form Impβ/Ran-GTP complex and released the Impα and the cargo protein. The Impβ/Ran-GTP complex is then exported to the cytoplasm where the complex dissociates upon hydrolysis of GTP to GDP, making Impβ ready for a new import cycle.
