As soon as the M cyclin-CDK complex is formed, it is phosphorylated at two adjacent sites by the inhibitory protein Wee1. This modification results in an inactive M cyclin-CDK complex. The phosphates are then removed from the activating phosphatase Cdc25, which dephosphorylates the M cyclin-CDK complex, resulting in its active form.

Diagram and describe the process by which proteins are transported from the cytosol into the nucleus.

A protein containing a nuclear localization signal is recognized by a cytosolic import receptor. The import receptor and the signal sequence on the protein bind. The import receptor associates with the cytosolic fibrils and the protein and receptor move into the nucleus through a nuclear pore. Once in the nucleus, the protein and the signal sequence dissociate from the import receptor by the binding of Ran-GTP to the import receptor. The protein and the signal sequence stay in the nucleus while the import receptor and Ran-GTP exit the nucleus and enter the cytosol.

Compare and contrast protein transport into the ER and into the nucleus. List at least two major differences in the mechanisms and speculate why the ER mechanism might not work for nuclear import and vice versa.

Proteins are imported into the nucleus after they have been synthesized, folded, and, if appropriate, assembled into complexes. In contrast, unfolded polypeptide chains are translocated into the ER as they are being made by the ribosomes. Ribosomes are assembled in the nucleus yet function in the cytosol, and the enzyme complexes that catalyze RNA transcription and splicing are assembled in the cytosol yet function in the nucleus. Thus, both ribosomes and these enzyme complexes need to be transported through the nuclear pores intact. Nuclear pores are gates, which are always open to small molecules; in contrast, translocation channels in the ER membrane are normally closed, and open only after the ribosome has attached to the membrane and the translocating polypeptide chain has sealed the channel from the cytosol. It is important that the ER membrane remain impermeable to small molecules during the translocation process, as the ER is a major store for calcium in the cell, and calcium release into the cytosol must be tightly controlled. Nuclear localization signals are not cleaved off after protein import into the nucleus; in contrast, ER signal peptides are usually cleaved off. Nuclear localization signals are needed to repeatedly re-import nuclear proteins after they have been released into the cytosol during mitosis, when the nuclear envelope breaks down.
