Abstract excerpt
Karyopherinbeta2 (Kapbeta2) imports a variety of mRNA binding proteins into the nucleus. Release of import substrates in the nucleus involves formation of a high-affinity Kapbeta2-RanGTP complex and concomitant dissociation of import substrates. The crystal structure of the Kapbeta2-RanGppNHp complex shows that Ran binds in the Kapbeta2 N-terminal arch and substrate most likely binds its C-terminal arch. The...
