Structural basis of phosphorylation-independent nuclear import of CIRBP by TNPO3.
Nat Commun, 16:4456-4456, 2025

PubMed Abstract: Transportin 3 (TNPO3) is a nuclear import receptor known for its broad substrate specificity, often recognizing arginine-serine (SR/RS) repeat-rich nuclear localization signals (NLS) in SRSF proteins. While serine phosphorylation or glutamate presence has been associated with these NLSs, recent proteomic studies identified TNPO3 cargoes lacking SR/RS repeats. One such example is the cold-inducible RNA-binding protein (CIRBP), which contains a non-classical RSY-NLS. Using X-ray crystallography, here we investigate the TNPO3-CIRBP interaction and find that tyrosines within the RSY-NLS play a key role in binding, independent of phosphorylation. Surprisingly, serine and tyrosine phosphorylation in CIRBP's NLS inhibits TNPO3 binding, suggesting a regulatory mechanism for nuclear import. Our study reveals a non-conventional nuclear import mechanism mediated by TNPO3, which may extend to other known or yet undiscovered TNPO3 cargoes.
