Ribosomes are the nanomachines that synthesize all cellular proteins from mRNA templates. In eukaryotes, ribosomes, which are composed of ribosomal proteins and rRNA, are mainly assembled in the nucleus. Thus, ribosomal proteins require a nuclear transport step from their place of synthesis in the cytoplasm to their site of assembly in the nucleus. Recognition of import substrates is mediated by different types of nuclear localization signals, which are either directly recognized by import recep ...[more]
