Accessory protein orf6 (6) of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus type 1 (SARS‑CoV‑1) inhibits the interferon signaling pathway by blocking the nuclear import of signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) (Kopecky‑Bromberg SA et al. 2007; Frieman M et al. 2007). STAT1 translocation to the nucleus is mediated by importin subunit α‑5 (also known as karyopherin subunit α‑1 or KPNA1) (McBride KM et al. 2002; Nardozzi J et al. 2010). KPNA1 recognizes and binds the unique nonclassical nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence of STAT1, which is exposed only upon phosphorylation‑induced dimerization of STAT1 (Nardozzi J et al. 2010; Fagerlund R et al. 2002; McBride KM et al. 2002). Like other members of the importin α family, NLS‑cargo‑bound KPNA1 recruits the receptor importin subunit β‑1 (karyopherin subunit beta 1 or KPNB1) via the N‑terminal importin β binding (IBB) domain of KPNA1 (Cingolani G et al. 1999). The formed NLS‑cargo:KPNA:KPBN1 complex then passes through a nuclear pore complex (McBride KM et al. 2002; Chook YM & Süel KE 2011). SARS‑CoV‑1 orf6 binds importin subunit α‑1 (KPNA2), which also functions as an adapter protein for KPNB1 (Frieman M et al. 2007). Unlike KPNA1, KPNA2 is not involved in the translocation of activated STAT1 complexes into the nucleus (Frieman M et al. 2007). The viral 6 protein is localized to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)/Golgi intermediate compartment (ERGIC) in infected cells where it binds cytosolic KPNA2. The binding of KPNA2 to 6 allows KPNB1 to be tethered to the 6:KPNA2 complex on ERGIC thus limiting free KPNB1 in the cytoplasm (Frieman M et al. 2007). SARS‑CoV‑1 6 is thought to block the nuclear import of STAT1 by tethering KPNA2 and KPNB1 to ERGIC and reducing the STAT1:KPNA1:KPNB1 complex formation (Frieman M et al. 2007). Similar findings were reported for SARS‑CoV‑2 orf6 which selectively interacted with KPNA2 to block IRF3 nuclear translocation (Xia H et al. 2020).
