Type: Specificity Subtype: Domain hiding | |||||||
A domain can be sterically masked by binding of an effector when there is a large difference in intrinsic affinity of the domain for different binding partners, or a large difference in the local abundance of these partners, thereby precluding further interactions of the domain. Binding of the masking molecule can be PTM-dependent or -independent. | |||||||
IMA1_YEAST | TRG_NLS_Bipartite_1 | 44 | 58 | An intramolecular interaction between the importin beta-binding (IBB) domain and the NLS-binding pocket of Importin subunit alpha (SRP1) prevents binding of NLS cargo (e.g. Large T antigen) in the absence of Importin subunit beta-1 (KAP95) by hiding of the NLS-binding pocket. Binding of the IBB of Importin subunit alpha (SRP1) to Importin subunit beta-1 (KAP95) relieves this auto-inhibitory interaction and increases the affinity of Importin subunit alpha (SRP1) for NLS cargo. | |||

Binding of the IBB of Importin subunit alpha (SRP1) to Importin subunit beta-1 (KAP95) relieves this auto-inhibitory interaction and increases the affinity of Importin subunit alpha (SRP1) for NLS cargo. | |||
Type: Binary Subtype: Physicochemical compatibility | |||||||
PTM of a residue in a motif or in its flanking regions alters the physicochemical and/or structural compatibility of the motif with its binding partner. This can either induce or enhance an interaction, or result in inhibition or even abrogation of an interaction. | |||||||
SWI6_YEAST | TRG_NLS_MonoExtN_4 | 161 | 167 | Phosphorylation of S160 adjacent to the NLS of Regulatory protein SWI6 (SWI6) decreases nuclear import of this protein by decreasing the affinity for Importin subunit alpha (SRP1). |
