UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9Y5L0 (Q9Y5L0)
Gene Name:
TNPO3
Organism: Homo sapiens (Human)
Function: Importin, which transports target proteins into the nucleus (PubMed:10366588, PubMed:10713112, PubMed:11517331, PubMed:12628928, PubMed:24449914). Specifically mediates the nuclear import of splicing factor serine/arginine (SR) proteins, such as RBM4, SFRS1 and SFRS2, by recognizing phosphorylated SR domains (PubMed:10366588, PubMed:10713112, PubMed:11517331, PubMed:12628928, PubMed:24449914). Also mediates the nuclear import of serine/arginine (SR) protein CPSF6, independently of CPSF6 phosphorylation (PubMed:30916345, PubMed:31465518). The nuclear import process is regulated by the small GTPase Ran that partitions between cytoplasm and nucleus in the predominantly GDP- and GTP-bound form, respectively (PubMed:23878195, PubMed:24449914). Importin associates with target cargo proteins in the cytoplasm, and the competitive binding of GTP-bound Ran induces the release of cargos in the nucleus (PubMed:23878195, PubMed:24449914) (Microbial infection) Involved in immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) infection by importing the pre-integration complex (PIC) into the nucleus (PubMed:18722123, PubMed:21901095, PubMed:22398280, PubMed:29329553). Required for a nuclear maturation step of HIV-1 prior to integration (PubMed:21901095, PubMed:22398280)
