Classical nuclear localization signals (cNLSs), comprising one (monopartite cNLSs) or two clusters of basic residues connected by a 10-12 residue linker (bipartite cNLSs), are recognized by the nuclear import factor importin-α. The cNLSs bind along a concave groove on importin-α; however, specificity determinants of cNLSs remain poorly understood ...
