Function

Importins (IPO) mediate the import of cellular proteins into the nucleus by binding to the Nuclear Localization Signal (NLS). IPO has 2 subunits: α and β. IPO-α is an adaptor protein which binds the NLS[1]. IPOs can contain one or two NLS motifs.

  • IPO-α contains several armadillo repeats with two NLS-binding sites and an IPO-β binding (IBB) site.
  • IPO-β contains 19 HEAT (solenoid domain) repeats. Many nuclear proteins contain Phe-Gly sequences which can bind to HEAT repeats and thus be transported.
  • IPO-4 binds histones H3 and H4 and histone chaperone ASF1 for nuclear import[2].
  • IPO-7 drives the nuclear import of the regulator of mechanotransduction pathway YAP[3].
  • IPO-9 binds histones H2A and H2B for nuclear import[4].
  • IPO-13 has a role in oxidative stress-dependent nuclear export[5].

See also Protein Transport Membrane Protein.

Disease

IPO-α isoform expression is altered in many kinds of cancer.

Relevance

Specific IPO-α isoforms are critical in nerve regenerative response after injury. Loss of IPO-α expression in aging myocardial cells could make recovery after heart disease in elderly patients more difficult[6].
