Abstract
Transport of proteins containing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) into the nucleus is mediated by nuclear transport receptors called importins, typically dimmers of a cargo-binding α-subunit and a β-subunit that mediates translocation through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). However, how proteins without canonical NLS move into the nucleus is not well understood. Recent results indicate that phospholipids, such as phosphatidic acid, play important roles in the intracellular translocation of proteins between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
