Axoplasmic importins enable retrograde injury signaling in lesioned nerve. Neuron. 40:2003;1095-1104 This study provides evidence of a complex that mediates retrograde injury signals in axons. Lesion-induced intra-axonal translation of importin-β results in the assembly of a transport complex containing the retrograde motor dynein, the importin heterodimer and NLS-containing signals able to mediate a nuclear damage response.
