Nuclear protein import can be separated into two distinct steps: binding to the nuclear pore complex followed by translocation to the nuclear interior. A previously identified nuclear location sequence (NLS) receptor and a 97-kD protein purified from bovine erythrocytes reconstitute the binding step in a permeabilized cell assay. Binding to the envelope is specific for a functional SV-40 large T antigen NLS and is not ATP or temperature dependent. Modification of p97 with N-ethylmaleimide (NEM) decreases binding to the pore, but interestingly, NEM treatment of the NLS receptor does not. Nuclear envelope binding is inhibited by wheat germ agglutinin suggesting a possible mechanism for the inhibition of transport by the lectin.
与核孔复合体结合,随后转运至核内。先前鉴定出的核定位序列(NLS)受体和从牛红细胞中纯化的一种97-kD蛋白,在通透细胞试验中重建了结合步骤。与核膜的结合对功能性SV-40大T抗原NLS具有特异性,且不依赖于ATP或温度。用N-乙基马来酰亚胺(NEM)修饰p97会降低与核孔的结合,但有趣的是,用NEM处理NLS受体则不会。麦胚凝集素可抑制核膜结合,这提示了凝集素抑制转运的一种可能机制。
