Abstract
Kapbeta2 (also called transportin) recognizes PY nuclear localization signal (NLS), a new class of NLS with a R/H/Kx((2-5))PY motif. Here we show that Kapbeta2 complexes containing hydrophobic and basic PY-NLSs, as classified by the composition of an additional N-terminal motif, converge in structure only at consensus motifs, which explains ligand diversity. On the basis of these data and complementary biochemical analyses, we designed a Kapbeta2-specific nuclear import inhibitor, M9M.

(a) Ribbon model of Kap 2 (pink), hnRNP M NLS (magenta) and the 2.5 F[o] – F[c] map (blue). (b) NLSs of hnRNP M (magenta) and hnRNP A1 (2H4M; blue) upon superposition of Kap 2 residues 435–780. Regions of structural similarity are highlighted in yellow. Structurally aligned NLS sequences, C –C distances and inhibitor M9M sequence are shown.
