High impact information on ATIMPALPHA3/MOS6

  • An importin alpha homolog, MOS6, plays an important role in plant innate immunity [1].
  • MOS6, identified by positional cloning, encodes importin alpha3, one of eight alpha importins in Arabidopsis [6]. alpha importins mediate the import of specific proteins across the nuclear envelope [1].
  • The KAP-2 protein that binds to the H-box (CCTACC) element in the bean CHS15 chalcone synthase promoter was purified, and internal peptide sequence used to design primers leading to the cloning of KAP-2 from bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) and barrel medic (Medicago truncatula) [2].
