High impact information on KAP122

Recombinant GST-Kap122p formed a complex with recombinant His(6)-Toa1p/Toa2p [1].
Kap122p bound to nucleoporins, specifically, to the peptide repeat-containing fragments of Nup1p and Nup2p [1].
We discovered a nuclear import pathway mediated by the product of the previously identified Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene PDR6 (pleiotropic drug resistance) [1].
We have identified two proteins that have an important role in betabeta' nuclear localization: the importin beta homolog Kap122 and the WD40 repeat protein Wtm1 [2].
Subsequent tagging of Pdr6p with green fluorescent protein revealed association with the nuclear pore complexes in vivo [3].

Other interactions of KAP122

Together these data suggest that Kap122p is the major Kap for the import of Toa1p-Toa2p into the nucleus [1].
