Active nucleocytoplasmic transport of macromolecules requires soluble transport carriers of the importin/karyopherin superfamily. Although the nuclear transport machinery is essential in all eukaryotic cells, neurons must also mobilise importins and associated proteins to overcome unique spatiotemporal challenges. These include switches in importin alpha subtype expression during neuronal differentiation, localized axonal synthesis of importin beta 1 to coordinate a retrograde injury signaling complex on axonal dynein, and trafficking of regulatory and signaling molecules from synaptic terminals to cell bodies. Targeting of RNAs encoding critical components of the importins complex and the Ran system to axons allows sophisticated local regulation of the system for mobilization upon need. Finally, a number of importin family members have been associated with mental or neurodegenerative diseases. The extended roles recently discovered for importins in the nervous system might also be relevant in non-neuronal cells, and the localized modes of importin regulation in neurons offer newavenues to interrogate their cytoplasmic functions.
