title: The hitchhiker's guide to the nucleus.
abstract: The hormone-related protein PTHrP travels from the cytosol to the nucleus by binding to the transport factor importin . Remarkably, the site of recognition of PTHrP is the N-terminal half of importin , which also has Ran-binding and nucleoporin-binding capabilities and is, therefore, sufficient by itself to function in PTHrP nuclear import.
