Transport through the pore nuclear.
The small molecules (PM<40kDa) are able to cross the nuclear pores by simple diffusion. The molecules or the particles of bigger size can cross the pores with difficulty. An effective transport requires the intervention of proteinic factors. Those are called karyophérines and can function like importine (importation of proitéines towards the core) or like exportine (export of the core towards the cytoplasm). The karyopérines are proteins of the super-family of the importine-β with which it has a certain homology.
Importation
Proteins (of PM > 40kDa) having a nuclear signal of localization (Nuclear Localization Sequence: NLS) have the role to be imported in the core constitutivement or in answer to a signal. There exist various types of NLS with generally weak sequences consensus but one their characteristics is to be made up of several Amino-acid basic: for example PKKKRKV. Sequences NLS are recognized by importines which are used as conveyer through the pore.The traditional diagram of the importation of proteins-NLS is the following: the importine-α binds initially to sequence NLS and is used as adapter with the importine-β. The complex importineβ-importineα-protein-NLS can then diffuse through the nuclear pores. Once inside the core, the importine-β is dissociated from the complex by a molecule of Ran-GTP. The exportine CASE which is related to Ran- GTP in the core, interacts then with the importine-α and dissociates it from protein-NLS. This one is then released in the nucleoplasme. The complexes importineβ-RanGTP and importineα-CASES-RanGTP can then diffuse towards the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, the molecules of GTP are hydrolized in GDP what leads to the salting out of the importines α and β which is then available for a new cycle of protein-NLS importation.
The mechanism of Sumoylation by RanBP2 also takes part in the passing of the nuclear pore.
