UniProt functional annotation for O95149

UniProt code: O95149.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Functions as an U snRNP-specific nuclear import adapter. Involved in the trimethylguanosine (m3G)-cap-dependent nuclear import of U snRNPs. Binds specifically to the terminal m3G-cap U snRNAs. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10209022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15920472, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16030253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9670026}.
 
Subunit: Component of an import snRNP complex composed of KPNB1, SNUPN, SMN1 and ZNF259. Component of a nuclear export receptor complex composed of KPNB1, Ran, SNUPN and XPO1. Found in a trimeric export complex with SNUPN, Ran and XPO1. Interacts (via IBB domain) with KPNB1; the interaction is direct. Interacts with DDX20, IPO7, SMN1, SNRPB and XPO1. Interacts directly with XPO1. Its interaction with XPO1 and binding to m3G-cap U snRNPs appears to be mutually exclusive. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10209022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12095920, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15920472, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16030253, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18187419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20476751, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9670026}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10209022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15920472}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12095920, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9670026, ECO:0000305|PubMed:10209022}. Note=Nucleoplasmic shuttling protein. Its nuclear import involves the nucleocytoplasmic transport receptor importin beta (PubMed:10209022, PubMed:12095920). It is re-exported to the cytoplasm by the XPO1- dependent nuclear export receptor pathway (PubMed:10209022). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10209022, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12095920}.
Similarity: Belongs to the snurportin family. {ECO:0000305}.
