KAP95P:RANGTP COMPLEX
Overview
Nuclear protein import is mediated mainly by the transport factor, importin-beta that binds cytoplasmic cargo, most often via the, importin-alpha adaptor, and then transports it through nuclear pore, complexes. This active transport is driven by disassembly of the import, complex by nuclear RanGTP. The switch I and II loops of Ran change, conformation with nucleotide state, and regulate its interactions with, nuclear trafficking components. Importin-beta consists of 19 HEAT repeats, that are based on a pair of antiparallel alpha-helices (referred to as the, A- and B-helices). The HEAT repeats stack to yield two C-shaped arches, linked together to form a helicoidal molecule that has considerable, conformational flexibility. Here we present the structure of full-length, yeast importin-beta ... [(full description)]
