Gradient of Increasing Affinity of Importin β for Nucleoporins along the Pathway of Nuclear Import

Nuclear import and export signals on macromolecules mediate directional, receptor-driven transport through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) by a process that is suggested to involve the sequential binding of transport complexes to different nucleoporins. The directionality of transport appears to be p...
