BACKGROUND Eukaryotic cells have a continuous transit of macromolecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Several carrier proteins are involved in this transport. One of them is importin α, which must form a complex with importin β to accomplish its function, by domain-swapping its 60-residue-long N terminus. There are several human isoforms of importin α; among them, importin α3 has a particularly high flexibility. METHODS We studied the conformational stability of intact importin α3 (Impα3) and its truncated form, where the 64-
