'''Importins''' (IPO) mediate the import of cellular proteins into the nucleus by binding to the '''N'''uclear '''L'''ocalization '''S'''ignal (NLS). IPO has 2 subunits: α and β. '''IPO-α''' is an adaptor protein which binds the NLS<ref>PMID:9759490</ref>. IPOs can contain one or two NLS motifs. '''IPO-α''' contains several armadillo repeats with two NLS-binding sites and an IPO-β binding (IBB) site. '''IPO-β''' contains 19 HEAT (solenoid domain) repeats. Many nuclear proteins contain Phe-Gly sequences which can bind to HEAT repeats and thus be transported. See also [[Protein Transport Membrane Protein]].
