motifs/domains
  • a functional site, present throughout the superfamily, and functioning as an nuclear pore complex binding site in NUTF2
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY NUTF2 domain containing superfamily of proteins
    CATEGORY regulatory

    basic FUNCTION
  • regulates the distribution of RAN
  • essential regulator of the RAN distribution in living cells and NUTF2-mediated RAN nuclear import is required for NLS-dependent protein import
  • NUTF2 and RAN control nuclear import of the filamentous actin capping protein CAPG
  • potential mediator of retinal vasculature integrity, and may act by altering VEGFA expression, thereby influencing the development of diabetic retinopathy in patients with diabetes mellitus
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY

    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • bind nuclear pore complex proteins and the GDP form of RAN
  • RAN is an import cargo of NUTF2
  • interaction with XPO6 (reduction of its activity leads to actin accumulation via failure of RANGTP restoration and NUTF2 sequestration in the nuclei of senescent cells
  • cell & other
