The MUC1 heterodimeric transmembrane protein is aberrantly overexpressed by most human carcinomas. The MUC1 C-terminal subunit (MUC1-C) is devoid of a classical nuclear localization signal and is targeted to the nucleus by an unknown mechanism. The present results demonstrate that MUC1-C associates with importin beta and not importin alpha. The results also show that, like importin beta, MUC1-C binds to Nup62...
