Import and export of the nuclear protein import receptor transportin by a mechanism independent of GTP hydrolysis

Current Biology : CB
S Nakielny, G Dreyfuss

Abstract

Nuclear protein import and export are mediated by receptor proteins that recognize nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) or nuclear export sequences (NESs) and target the NLS-bearing or NES-bearing protein to the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Temperature-dependent translocation of the receptor-cargo complex in both directions through the NPC requires the GTPase Ran, and it has been proposed that the Ran GTPase cycle mediates translocation. We have addressed the role of GTP hydrolysis in these processes by studying the import receptor transportin, which mediates the import of a group of abundant heterogeneous nuclear RNA-binding proteins bearing the M9 NLS. We investigated the transport properties of transportin and found that the carboxy-terminal region of transportin could, by itself, be imported into the nucleus. Transportin import and export were inhibited by low temperature in vitro, but were unaffected by the non-hydrolyzable GTP analogue GMP-PNP. Temperature-dependent import and export through the NPC can be uncoupled from the Ran GTPase cycle and can occur without GTP hydrolysis.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule.
