UniProt functional annotation for Q99257

UniProt code: Q99257.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Involved in the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU00611, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9214641}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with nucleoporin complex NUP84 and MTR2. Interacts with MIP6. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12835756, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9214641}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Localizes at both the nuclear and cytoplasmic site of the pores. Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm.
Domain: The leucine-rich repeats and the NTF2-domain are essential for the export of mRNA from the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.
Domain: The NTF2 domain heterodimerizes with MTR2. The formation of this heterodimer is essential for mRNA export and binds to all of the nucleoporin-FG-repeats.
Domain: The RNA-binding domain is conserved in most NXF proteins but may be absent in yeasts.
Miscellaneous: Present with 2830 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the NXF family. {ECO:0000305}.
