After processing by the proteasome, the truncated GLI3 translocates into the nucleus where it acts as the primary repressor for Hh-responsive genes (reviewed in Briscoe and Therond, 2013). Based on sequence comparisons with Ci and GLI1, GLI3 is predicted to have a bipartite NLS signal near the zinc finger domain, and import to the nucleus may be mediated by Importin alpha3, although the details remain to be worked out (reviewed in Hatayama and Aruga, 2012).
