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.

2 GO annotations of cellular component
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| cytoplasm | The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| 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. |
5 GO annotations of biological process
| Name | Definition |
|---|---|
| female germline ring canal formation | Assembly of the intercellular bridges that connect the germ-line cells of a female cyst. |
| gravitaxis | The directed movement of a motile cell or organism in response to gravity. |
| lymph gland development | The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the lymph gland over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The lymph gland is one of the sites of hemocyte differentiation. It consists of three to six bilaterally paired lobes that are attached to the cardioblasts during larval stages, and it degenerates during pupal stages. |
| 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. |
| sperm individualization | The resolution of the male germline syncytium or cyst into individual gametes by packaging each spermatid into its own plasma membrane. |
