Abstract excerpt
Import of proteins containing a classical nuclear localization signal (NLS) into the nucleus is mediated by importin alpha and importin beta. Srp1p, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae homologue of importin alpha, returns from the nucleus in a complex with its export factor Cse1p and with Gsp1p (yeast Ran) in its GTP-bound state. We studied the role of the nucleoporin Nup2p in the transport cycle of Srp1p. Cells lacking...
