Background: The two step process of importing proteins into the nucleus involves the binding and interaction of several cytosolic and nuclear pore proteins. Proteins to be translocated into the nucleus contain a nuclear localization sequence (NLS) which is recognized and bound by carrier proteins in the cytosol. Heterodimers belonging to a highly conserved family of proteins called karyopherins are required for successful nuclear localization of cytosolic proteins. The alpha-subunits appear to function in the binding of NLS (both simple and bitartite NLS motifs), but both alpha- and beta-subunits are required for successful docking to the nuclear envelope. ATP is required for complete translocation of proteins into the nucleus. Karyopherin alpha2 was first identified as Rch-1, an NLS receptor which interacts with the RAG-1 recombination-activating protein in developing B and T cells. Rch-1 has been reported to be 44% identical to karyopherin alpha1 (hSRP-1 /NPI-1). This antibody is routinely tested by western blot analysis.
