Histone 2b nuclear transport was investigated using the digitonin-permeabilized cell system and the rat liver resealed nuclear envelope system. In permeabilized cells, maximal uptake of histone 2b is dependent on cytosolic components and an appropriate energy source. Addition of the recombinant proteins importin alpha/beta, and Ran, as well as ATP and GTP, to cytosol-depleted permeabilized cells does not enhance the uptake of histone 2b in contrast to that of nucleoplasmin serving as a control. Nuclear import of histone 2b cannot be blocked by addition of an excess of a nuclear localization signal-bearing peptide or nucleoplasmin. Similar results were obtained with resealed nuclear envelopes. As shown previously, resealed vesicles respond to the importin signal for the uptake of nuclear localization signal-bearing proteins which allows investigation of the import mechanism independent of intranuclear binding to chromatin. Uptake of histone 2b therefore seems to be an energy-requiring transport mechanism different from the import of proteins bearing a typical nuclear localization signal.
