Nuclear localization sequence-dependent nuclear protein import is essential for maintaining cell function and can be selectively blocked in epithelial cells by mushroom (Agaricus bisporus) lectin. Here we report that a major intracellular ligand for this lectin is an N-terminally truncated form of oxygen-regulated protein 150 (Orp150), which lacks the endoplasmic reticulum translocation signal peptide of full-length Orp150. This cytoplasmic form of Orp150 expresses the lectin carbohydrate ligand (sialyl-2,3-galactosyl-beta1,3-N-acetylgalactosamine-alpha) and is shown to be essential for nuclear localization sequence-dependent nuclear protein import.
依赖于核定位序列的核蛋白导入对于维持细胞功能至关重要,并且蘑菇(双孢蘑菇)凝集素可在上皮细胞中选择性地阻断这种导入。在此我们报告,这种凝集素的一种主要细胞内配体是氧调节蛋白150(Orp150)的N端截短形式,它缺乏全长Orp150的内质网转运信号肽。这种细胞质形式的Orp150表达凝集素碳水化合物配体(唾液酸基-2,3-半乳糖基-β1,3-N-乙酰半乳糖胺-α),并且已证明其对于依赖于核定位序列的核蛋白导入至关重要。
