| UniProt functional annotation for P40064 | |||
| UniProt code: P40064. |
| 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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684247, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12473689}. | |
| 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. NUP157 may be part of a NPC subcomplex containing NUP53, NUP170, and NUP59. In addition it may bind to MAD2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10684247}. | |
| 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 4420 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the non-repetitive/WGA-negative nucleoporin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
