Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) stimulation triggers tyrosine-phosphorylation of transcription factor STAT1 at position 701, which is associated with the switching from carrier-independent nucleocytoplasmic shuttling to carrier-mediated nuclear import. Unlike most substrates that carry a classical Nuclear Localization Signal (cNLS) and bind to importin α1, STAT1 possesses a non-classical NLS recognized by the isoform importin α5. In the present study, we have analyzed the mechanisms by which importin α5 binds phosphorylated STAT1 (pSTAT1). We found that a homodimer of pSTAT1 is recognized by one equivalent of importin α5 with Kd = 191 ± 20 nM. Whereas tyrosine-phosphorylation at position 701 is essential to assemble a pSTAT1:importin α5 complex, the phosphate moiety is not a direct binding determinant for importin α5. In contrast to classical NLS substrates, pSTAT1 binding to importin α5 is not displaced by the N-terminal importin β binding (IBB)-domain, and requires the importin α5 C-terminal acidic tail (505-EEDD-508). A local unfolding of importin α5 ARM repeat 10 accompanies high affinity binding to pSTAT1. This unfolding is mediated by a single conserved tyrosine at position 476 of importin α5, which is inserted in between Armadillo (ARM) repeat 10 helices H1-H2-H3, thereby preventing the intramolecular helical stacking essential to stabilize the folding conformation of ARM 10. Introducing a glycine at this position, as in importin α1, disrupts high-affinity binding to pSTAT1, suggesting pSTAT1 recognition is dependent on the intrinsic flexibility of ARM 10. Using the quantitative stoichiometry and binding data presented in this paper together with mutational information available in the literature, we propose importin α5 binds in between two STAT1 monomers, with two major binding determinants in the SH2- and DNA-binding domains. In vitro this model is supported by the observation that a 38mer DNA oligonucleotide containing two tandem cfosM67-promoters can displace importin α5 from pSTAT1, suggesting a possible role for DNA in releasing activated STAT1 in the cell nucleus.
