All the characteristic properties of in vivo nuclear transport are faithfully reproduced with these transport substrates: (i) the transport requires a functional NLS in the transported protein, a transport-incompetent mutant NLS being ineffective; (ii) the transport is energy dependent; (iii) the wild type nuclear localization peptide efficiently competes for transport, while the transport-incompetent mutant peptide does not; and (iv) wheat germ agglutinin inhibits this transport reaction. Nuclear transport observed with these substrates was not due to any damage of the nuclear membrane or inefficient extraction of the cytosolic proteins during the permeabilization of the cells. The nuclear transport was proportional to the number of conjugated NLSs.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Nuclear transport of phycoerythrine carrying 7-8 conjugated NLSs\/subunit required the addition of exogenous cytosolic proteins.

From a mixture of PE-NLS7-8 and Bsp methyltransferase-NLS, the highly conjugated substrate was completely retained in the cytoplasm in the absence of exogenous cytosol, while Bsp methyltransferase-NLS was efficiently transported. Exogenous cytosol promoted the nuclear transport of the highly conjugated substrate.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jcs.108.5.1849","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,24]],"date-time":"2021-04-24T02:36:19Z","timestamp":1619231779000},"page":"1849-1861","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The mechanism of nuclear transport of natural or artificial transport substrates in digitonin-permeabilized cells"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"Imre","family":"Cserp\u00e1n","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 6701 Szeged, PO Box 521, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andor","family":"Udvardy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Research Center of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 6701 Szeged, PO Box 521, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1995,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023122621441097600_JOCES_108_5_1849C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"276","DOI":"10.1038\/337276a0","article-title":"Identification of specific binding proteins for a nuclear location sequence","volume":"337","author":"Adam","year":"1989","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2023122621441097600_JOCES_108_5_1849C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"807","DOI":"10.1083\/jcb.111.3.807","article-title":"Nuclear protein import in permeabilized mammalian cells requires cytoplasmic factors","volume":"111","author":"Adam","year":"1990","journal-title":"J.
