Multiple pathways in nuclear transport: the import of U2 snRNP occurs by a novel kinetic pathway.
Michaud N, Goldfarb DS.
???displayArticle.abstract???
Protein import to the nucleus is a signal-mediated process that exhibits saturation kinetics. We investigated whether signal bearing proteins compete with U2 and U6 snRNPs during import. When injected into Xenopus oocytes, saturating concentrations of P(Lys)-BSA, a protein bearing multiple nuclear localization signals from SV40 large T-antigen, reduce the rate of [125I]P(Lys)-BSA and of [125I]nucleoplasmin import, consistent with their competing for and sharing the same limiting component of the import apparatus. In contrast, saturating concentrations of P(Lys)-BSA do not reduce the rate of HeLa [32P]U2 snRNP assembly or import. The import of U6 snRNP is also competed by P(Lys)-BSA. We conclude that U2 snRNP is imported into oocyte nuclei by a kinetic pathway that is distinct from the one followed by P(Lys)-BSA, nucleoplasmin, and U6 snRNP.
