Background
IPO5 is a member of the importin beta family. Structurally, the protein adopts the shape of a right-hand solenoid and is composed of 24 HEAT repeats. IPO5 facilitates cytoplasmic polyadenylation element-binding protein CPEB3 translocation by binding to the RRM1 motif of CPEB3 in neurons. NMDAR signaling increases RanBP1 expression and reduces the level of cytoplasmic GTP-bound Ran. These changes enhance CPEB3-IPO5 interaction, which consequently accelerates the nuclear import of CPEB3 and promotes its nuclear function.
