The initial rate of GFP2-IN NLS import is reduced in classical nuclear protein import mutants. The initial rate of nuclear import of GFP2-IN NLS is dramatically reduced in gsp1-1, rna1-1, prp20-1, srp1-55 and rsl1 L63A cells relative to wildtype cells. Wildtype, gsp1-1, rna1-1, prp20-1, srp1-55 and rsll L63A cells containing GFP2-IN NLS were analyzed using a semi-quantitative kinetic import assay as described in the ‘Materials and Methods’ section (43). Import in wildtype cells was analyzed at both 37 and 18°C. Data obtained was identical at both temperatures and results are shown only for the 37°C sample. The percentage of cells with GFP2-IN NLS nuclear accumulation was plotted versus time to obtain an approximation of initial import rates.
