Nuclear import of proteins with nuclear localization signals (NLSs) is mediated by shuttling carriers, the importins. Some cargoes display more than a single NLS, and among these are homeodomain proteins such as Arx, which is critical for development of multiple tissues. Arx has two functional NLSs.

Ubiquitin-dependent proteolysis is mediated by the proteasome. To understand the structure and function of the human 26S proteasome, we cloned complete ORFs of 32 human proteasome subunits and conducted a yeast two-hybrid analysis of their interactions with each other. We observed that there are 114 interacting-pairs in the human 26S proteasome.

Importin 13 is a member of the importin beta superfamily of nuclear transport proteins and is expressed in multiple tissues at high levels both in humans and rodents, including fetal lung, brain, and heart. In order to elucidate potential functions of imp13 in the heart, we have used rat imp13 as bait to screen a human heart cDNA library and identified an interaction with the C-terminal peptide of myopodin (a.a.
