General description

Importin beta-1 (also known as Importin subunit beta-1) facilitates nuclear protein import. This occurs either though association with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) and an adapter protein , such as an importin-alpha subunit, which which binds to nuclear, or directly where the protein acts as autonomous nuclear transport receptor.
Import of macromolecules containing a NLS requires a heterodimer of importin alpha and beta subunits also called as karyopherins. Importin alpha binds the cytoplasmic NLS-containing protein and importin beta docks the complex at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear pore complex. Movement through the nuclear pore is mediated by the small GTP binding protein Ran via an energy requiring mechanism. Using nucleotide triphosphates and Ran, the nuclear transport complex moves into the nuclear pore and the importin subunits dissociate. Importin alpha and its passenger protein enter the nucleoplasm while importin beta remains at the pore.
