Summary: Enables nuclear import signal receptor activity. Involved in NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus; proteasome localization; and protein targeting to membrane. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Part of NLS-dependent protein nuclear import complex. Orthologous to several human genes including KPNA1 (karyopherin subunit alpha 1); KPNA5 (karyopherin subunit alpha 5); and KPNA6 (karyopherin subunit alpha 6).

What's a GeneRIF?

binding of Yar1 to one N-domain and binding of Kap60 to the second N-domain of dimerized Rps3 orchestrates import and protection of the ribosomal protein
Title: Nuclear import of dimerized ribosomal protein Rps3 in complex with its chaperone Yar1.
Data suggest that, in nuclear exosomes, karyopherins are bound to the Rrp6 complex; Srp1, Kap95, and Sxm1 appear to be the most important karyopherins for nuclear import of Rrp6. (Rrp6 = exosome nuclease subunit RRP6; Srp1 = karyopherin alpha kap60; Kap95 = karyopherin beta Kap95; Sxm1 = karyopherin Kap108)
