Here we report for the first time the role of sequences conferring association with dynein light chains (DLCs) in NLS-dependent nuclear accumulation of the rabies virus P-protein. We find that P-protein nuclear accumulation is significantly enhanced by its dynein light chain association sequence (DLC-AS), dependent on MT integrity and association with DLCs, and that P-protein-DLC complexes can associate with MT cytoskeletal structures. We also find that P-protein DLC-AS, as well as analogous sequences from other proteins, acts as an independent module that can confer enhancement of nuclear accumulation to proteins carrying the P-protein NLS, as well as several heterologous NLSs. Photobleaching experiments in live cells demonstrate that the MT-dependent enhancement of NLS-mediated nuclear accumulation by the P-protein DLC-AS involves an increased rate of nuclear import. This is the first report of DLC-AS enhancement of NLS function, identifying a novel mechanism regulating nuclear transport with relevance to viral and cellular protein biology. Importantly, this data indicates that DLC-ASs represent versatile modules to enhance nuclear delivery with potential therapeutic application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1091\/mbc.e07-01-0030","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,6,14]],"date-time":"2007-06-14T04:22:33Z","timestamp":1181794953000},"page":"3204-3213","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Dynein Light Chain Association Sequences Can Facilitate Nuclear Protein Import"],"prefix":"10.1091","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Gregory W.","family":"Moseley","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daniela Martino","family":"Roth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"},{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Victorian College of Pharmacy, Monash University, Parkville, Victoria 3052, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Michelle A.","family":"DeJesus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Denisse L.","family":"Leyton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard P.","family":"Filmer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colin W.","family":"Pouton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmaceutical Biology, Victorian College of Pharmacy, Monash University, Parkville, Victoria 3052, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David A.","family":"Jans","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"*Nuclear Signalling Laboratory, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Monash University, Monash, Victoria 3800, Australia; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1076","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"9819","DOI":"10.1128\/JVI.75.20.9819-9827.2001","volume":"75","author":"Alonso C.","year":"2001","journal-title":"J.
