The RanGTP-binding nuclear transport receptors transportin 1 (TRN1) and transportin2 (TRN2) are highly similar in sequence but are reported to function in nuclear import and export, respectively. Here we show that TRN2 possesses properties of a nuclear import receptor. TRN1/2 both interacted with a similar set of RNA-binding proteins in a RanGTP-sensitive manner. TRN2 bound RanGTP with high affinity, a feature of nuclear import receptors. As expected of an import complex, RanGTP also disrupted the interaction between TRN2 and HuR, an RNA-binding protein previously described as a TRN2 export substrate. The HuR nucleocytoplasmic shuttling signal, a sequence resembling the M9 nuclear import signal of hnRNP A1, was necessary and sufficient for TRN-mediated nuclear import of HuR in vitro. Finally, crosscompetition experiments demonstrated that HuR nucleocytoplasmic shuttling signal and M9 are imported along redundant pathways involving TRN1/2, substantiating the function of TRN2 in nuclear import.
