Background:

Protein transport across the nucleus is a selective, multi-step process involving several cytoplasmic factors. Proteins must be recognized as import substrates, dock at the nuclear pore complex and translocate across the nuclear envelope in an ATP-dependent fashion. Two cytosolic factors centrally involved in the recognition and docking process are the karyopherin a1 and karyopherin β1 subunits. Karyopherin a1 functions in the recognition and targeting of substrates destined for nuclear import, while karyopherin β1 serves as an adapter, tethering the karyopherin α1/substrate complex to docking proteins on the nuclear envelope termed nucleoporins.
