چکیده انگلیسی
Importin-α is essential for classical nucleocytoplasmic transport of nuclear proteins. Here, we report that importin-α is cleaved by caspases during apoptosis, generating importin-α lacking an IBB domain. This truncated importin-α binds tightly to the MCM replication licensing factor and, thus, prevents its binding to chromatin and downregulates DNA synthesis. Together, our data reveal for the first time that a dying cell effectively salvages limited supplies of cellular energy to ensure an orderly process of its own demise by simultaneously downregulating nucleocytoplasmic protein transport and DNA synthesis. Strikingly, cells can achieve this multi-task process by simply cleaving-off a key nuclear import protein.
