Inthe absence of importin b,anauto-inhibiting ... b,anauto-inhibiting part ofthe IBB domain forms an intra-molecular interaction with the NLS-binding domain,preventing the association with NLS on the cargo pro-tein. Thus, the presence or absence of importin ... importin b regu-lates the NLS binding ability of importin a. The relatively large NLS-binding domain of importin aconsists of ten armadillo repeats, each constitutingthree a-helices. In association...
