Abstract
Transport receptors of the Importin beta family shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm and mediate transport of macromolecules through nuclear pore complexes. They interact specifically with the GTP-binding protein Ran, which in turn regulates their interaction with cargo. Here, we report the three-dimensional structure of a complex between Ran bound to the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog GppNHp and a 462-residue fragment from Importin beta. The structure of Importin beta shows 10 tandem repeats resembling HEAT and Armadillo motifs. They form an irregular crescent, the concave site of which forms the interface with Ran-triphosphate. The importin-binding site of Ran does not overlap with that of the Ran-binding domain of RanBP2.

Figure 4. Structure of the Complex(A) Schematic representation of the structure of the complex, indicating the contacts of residues on Impβ with those of Ran. Interactions found in only one of the two molecules have an additional A,B identifier on the residue number. Open circles in Impβ[N] indicate the position of the B helices of the repeats with their numbers in red.(B) Ribbon representation of the complex with Ran in red, Impβ in green, superimposed with RanGDP in blue to highlight the potential clashes in switch I and the C-terminal end. GppNHp and Mg^2+ are shown as black ball-and-stick models.(C) Electrostatic surface potential of Impβ and RanGppNHp in and close to the interface (GRASP; [53]). The 180° rotation of Ran is indicated.

Figure 5. Flexibility of ImpβB factor representation of the two Impβ molecules in the asymmetric unit of the crystal with a color code, where red indicates high B factors and blue indicates low B factors. This indicates the different flexibilities in the two molecules, both inside and outside the Ran interface.
