Composition of loop A in Imp α1 and α5 and its effect on docking of N50 to the major NLS binding pocket. A and B, Ribbon structure and composition of loop A of (A) human Imp α1 (KPNA2), and (B) human Imp α5 (KPNA1). Structures were visualized in DeepView. C and D, 3‐D models of p50 NLS docking to the molecular surface of (C) human Imp α1 (KPNA2), and (D) human Imp α5 (KPNA1). Please note that loop A may provide stability to the p50 NLS‐Imp α5 complex while no such role is apparent for loop A in Imp α1. Docking models were generated by AutoDock Vina 1.1.2 and visualized by PythonMoleculeViewer 1.5.6. Imp α indicates importin α; NLS, nuclear localization sequence.
