- PMID 9384585. Importins at the U.S. National Library of Medicine Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) PDB Molecule of the Month Importins This article incorporates...
- Importin alpha, or karyopherin alpha refers to a class of adaptor proteins that are involved in the import of proteins into the cell nucleus. They are...
- GTP-bound. In its GTP-bound state, Ran is capable of binding importins and exportins. Importins release cargo upon binding to RanGTP, while exportins must...
- require karyopherins to traverse the nuclear pore. Karyopherins can act as importins (i.e. helping proteins get into the nucleus) or exportins (i.e. helping...
- as the Nuclear Import process, cytosolic proteins like alpha and beta importins would bind the nuclear localization sequence that is located within the...
- signals are recognized by importin α. Importin α contains a bipartite NLS itself, which is specifically recognized by importin β. The latter can be considered...
- Importin subunit alpha-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KPNA1 gene. Importin subunit alpha-5 has been shown to interact with KPNB1 and...
- material with an NLS will be taken up by importins to the nucleus.[citation needed] Importation begins with Importin-α binding to the NLS sequence of cargo...
- called importins. Once the STAT dimer (bound to importins) enters the nucleus, a protein called Ran (****ociated with GTP) binds to the importins, releasing...
- by importins, while those transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm carry nuclear export signals bound by exportins. The ability of importins and...
