Abstract Various cellular quality control mechanisms support proteostasis. While, ribosome-associated chaperones prevent the misfolding of nascent chains during translation, importins were shown to prevent the aggregation of specific cargoes in a post-translational mechanism prior the import into the nucleoplasm. Here, we hypothesize that importins may already bind ribosome-associated cargo in a co-translational manner. We systematically measure the nascent chain association of all importins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by selective ribosome profiling. We identify a subset of importins that bind to a wide range of nascent, often uncharacterized cargoes. This includes ribosomal proteins, chromatin remodelers and RNA binding proteins that are aggregation prone in the cytosol. We show that importins act consecutively with other ribosome-associated chaperones. Thus, the nuclear import system is directly intertwined with nascent chain folding and chaperoning. |
