| + | [https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/CLIC4_HUMAN CLIC4_HUMAN] Can insert into membranes and form poorly selective ion channels that may also transport chloride ions. Channel activity depends on the pH. Membrane insertion seems to be redox-regulated and may occur only under oxydizing conditions. Promotes cell-surface expression of HRH3. Has alternate cellular functions like a potential role in angiogenesis or in maintaining apical-basolateral membrane polarity during mitosis and cytokinesis. Could also promote endothelial cell proliferation and regulate endothelial morphogenesis (tubulogenesis).<ref>PMID:12163372</ref> <ref>PMID:14569596</ref> <ref>PMID:16239224</ref> <ref>PMID:18302930</ref> <ref>PMID:19247789</ref> <ref>PMID:16176272</ref> | ||

| + | It has been reported that a human chloride intracellular channel (CLIC) protein, CLIC4, translocates to the nucleus in response to cellular stress, facilitated by a putative CLIC4 nuclear localization signal (NLS). The CLIC4 NLS adopts an alpha-helical structure in the native CLIC4 fold. It is proposed that CLIC4 is transported to the nucleus via the classical nuclear import pathway after binding the import receptor, importin-alpha. In this study, we have determined the X-ray crystal structure of a truncated form of importin-alpha lacking the importin-beta binding domain, bound to a CLIC4 NLS peptide. The NLS peptide binds to the major binding site in an extended conformation similar to that observed for the classical simian virus 40 large T-antigen NLS. A Tyr residue within the CLIC4 NLS makes surprisingly favourable interactions by forming side-chain hydrogen bonds to the importin-alpha backbone. This structural evidence supports the hypothesis that CLIC4 translocation to the nucleus is governed by the importin-alpha nuclear import pathway, provided that CLIC4 can undergo a conformational rearrangement that exposes the NLS in an extended conformation. | ||
