Abstract
Many nuclear-targeted proteins are transported through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) by the importin-alpha:beta receptor. We now show that Npap60 (also called Nup50), a protein previously believed to be a structural component of the NPC, is a Ran binding protein and a cofactor for importin-alpha:beta-mediated import. Npap60 is a tri-stable switch that alternates between binding modes. The C terminus binds importin-beta through RanGTP. The N terminus binds the C terminus of importin-alpha, while a central domain binds importin-beta. Npap60:importin-alpha:beta binds cargo and can stimulate nuclear import. Endogenous Npap60 can shuttle and is accessible from the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope. These results identify Npap60 as a cofactor for importin-alpha:beta nuclear import and as a previously unidentified subunit of the importin complex.
