Descriptions
Importin-α is a nuclear import receptor that facilitates the transport of proteins with nuclear localization sequences (NLSs) into the nucleus. It is autoinhibited by its N-terminal region, which occupies the NLS-binding site, preventing unnecessary binding and import activity. Importin-α is autoinhibited in the absence of importin-β and the binding of importin-β alleviates this autoinhibition, which displaces the autoinhibitory sequence.

5 GO annotations of cellular component
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| cytosol | The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes. |
| male germ cell nucleus | The nucleus of a male germ cell, a reproductive cell in males. |
| NLS-dependent protein nuclear import complex | A dimer consisting of an alpha and a beta-subunit that imports proteins with an NLS into the nucleus through a nuclear pore. |
| nucleoplasm | That part of the nuclear content other than the chromosomes or the nucleolus. |
| nucleus | A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent. |
2 GO annotations of molecular function
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| nuclear import signal receptor activity | Combining with a nuclear import signal (NIS) on a cargo to be transported, to mediate transport of the cargo through the nuclear pore, from the cytoplasm to the nuclear lumen. The cargo can be either a RNA or a protein. |
| nuclear localization sequence binding | Binding to a nuclear localization sequence, a specific peptide sequence that acts as a signal to localize the protein within the nucleus. |
3 GO annotations of biological process
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus | The directed movement of a protein bearing a nuclear localization signal (NLS) from the cytoplasm into the nucleus, across the nuclear envelope. |
| protein import into nucleus | The directed movement of a protein from the cytoplasm to the nucleus. |
| response to hydrogen peroxide | Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) stimulus. |
