| UniProt functional annotation for P46673 | |||
| UniProt code: P46673. |
| Organism: | Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces. | |
| Function: | Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. NUP85 is involved in nuclear poly(A)+ RNA and pre-ribosome export, in GSP1 nuclear import, in NPC assembly and distribution, as well as in nuclear envelope organization. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11071906, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11823431, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12543930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12730220, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8816998, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9774696}. | |
| Subunit: | Component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC constitutes the exclusive means of nucleocytoplasmic transport. NPCs allow the passive diffusion of ions and small molecules and the active, nuclear transport receptor-mediated bidirectional transport of macromolecules such as proteins, RNAs, ribonucleoparticles (RNPs), and ribosomal subunits across the nuclear envelope. Due to its 8-fold rotational symmetry, all subunits are present with 8 copies or multiples thereof. NUP85 is part of the heptameric 0.5 MDa autoassembling NUP84 NPC subcomplex (NUP84, NUP85, NUP120, NUP133, NUP145C, SEC13 and SEH1). NUP85 also interacts directly with the GLFG repeats of NUP116 and directly or indirectly with the mRNA transport factor MTR2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12543930, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9774696}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Nucleus, nuclear pore complex {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684247}. Nucleus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Nucleus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Nucleoplasmic side. Note=Symmetric distribution. | |
| Miscellaneous: | Present with 7920 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the nucleoporin Nup85 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
