High impact information on KAP95

  • Significantly, symmetric deletions caused mild reductions in Kap95-Kap60-mediated import rates, but virtually abolished Kap104 import [1].
  • Surprisingly, we were unable to detect any defects in the Kap95, Kap121, Xpo1, or mRNA transport pathways in cells expressing the mutant FG Nups [2].
  • Importantly, we show that Kap114p, Kap121p, and Kap95 interact directly with both histone NLSs and that RanGTP inhibits this association [3].
  • Perhaps explaining this disparity, we observed an interaction between RPA and Kap95p in a strain lacking Kap142p [4].
  • In contrast, the NES mutation abolished Kap95p interaction with the GLFG repeat regions from the nucleoporins Nup116p and Nup100p [5].
 

Biological context of KAP95

  • We have determined that recycling of Kap95p requires a nuclear export signal (NES) [5].
  • A high affinity binding site for a Kap95p import complex was mapped to the C terminus of Nup1p, and, surprisingly, deletion of all FG repeats in that region did not eliminate binding of the complex [6].
  • Microsequence analysis showed that the 95-kDa protein was identical with a yeast protein encoded by gene L8300.15 on chromosome XII [7].

Physical interactions of KAP95

 

Other interactions of KAP95

  • Srp1p, the yeast nuclear localization signal-receptor, also accumulated in the nuclei of the arrested kap95 mutant cells [5].
  • Kap95p (importin beta) is released from this complex by a direct interaction with Gsp1p-GTP [10].
  • Instead, a 36-amino acid truncation of the C terminus of Nup1p reduced its affinity for the Kap95p import complex by 450-fold [6].
  • In order to understand how nuclear transporters traverse the NPC, we constructed functional protein fusions between several members of the yeast importin family, including Pse1p, Sxm1p, Xpo1p, and Kap95p, and the green fluorescent protein (GFP) [11].
  • Whereas Nup53p is directly involved in NLS-mediated protein import by its interaction with the yeast nuclear import receptor Kap95p, it appears not to participate in NES-dependent nuclear export [12].
