Here, we describe the crystal structures of two distinct isoforms of ligand-free human karyopherin RanBP5 and investigate its global propensity to interact with influenza A virus polymerase. Our results confirm the general architecture and mechanism of the IMB3 karyopherin-beta subfamily whilst also highlighting differences with the yeast orthologue Kap121p. Moreover, our results provide insight into the structural flexibility of beta-importins in the unbound state. Based on docking of a nuclear localisation sequence, point mutations were designed, which suppress influenza PA-PB1 subcomplex binding to RanBP5 in a binary protein complementation assay.
