Disease relevance of PSE1

  • The core protein of hepatitis C virus is imported into the nucleus by transport receptor Kap123p but inhibits Kap121p-dependent nuclear import of yeast AP1-like transcription factor in yeast cells [1].
 

High impact information on PSE1

  • These changes allow a transport inhibitory nucleoporin, Nup53p, to bind the karyopherin Kap121p specifically during mitosis, slowing its movement through the NPC and inducing cargo release [2].
  • Yeast strains that possess defects in the function of Kap121p or the fidelity of the inhibitory pathway are delayed in mitosis [2].
  • We show that the related protein Pse1p is also a karyopherin and can functionally substitute for Kap123p; both are capable of specifically directing a ribosomal nuclear localization signal reporter to the nucleus in vivo [3].
  • Pse1 binds directly to Pho4 and is required for its import in vivo [4].
  • Phosphorylation of Pho4 inhibits its interaction with Pse1, providing a mechanism by which phosphorylation may regulate import of Pho4 in vivo [4].
 

Biological context of PSE1

 

Anatomical context of PSE1

 

Associations of PSE1 with chemical compounds

  • This Pdr1-NLS sequence, absent in Pdr3, although rich in serine and tyrosine, is different from the Pse1-dependent nuclear localization signal (NLS) of Pho4 [7].
  • The activity of Pse1, when expressed in yeast, was not sensitive to the antibiotic cerulenin, which is an effective inhibitor of fatty acid synthesis and elongation [11].
 

Physical interactions of PSE1

  • In an in vitro assay, we showed that Yap1p could directly bind to Pse1p and that this interaction was dissociated by Ran-GTP [5].
  • At the NPC, Nup53p exists in two separate complexes, one of which is capable of interacting with Kap121p and another that is bound to Nup170p [9].
  • Aft1p could also directly bind to Pse1p and was dissociated from the complex by Ran-GTP in vitro [12].
  • Biochemical studies indicate that Pse1p binds to a region of Abf1p upstream of CS1 in a RanGTP-sensitive manner, suggesting that Abf1p has a second distinct NLS and can be imported into the nucleus by several overlapping pathways [13].
 

Regulatory relationships of PSE1

  • This suggests that the interaction between Aft1p and Pse1p is not a critical step that controls the iron-regulated nucleo-cytoplasmic transport of Aft1p [12].
 

Other interactions of PSE1

  • In pse1-1 cells, which bear a temperature-sensitive mutation of PSE1, Aft1p was misdirected to the cytoplasm during iron starvation at the restrictive temperature [12].
  • PSE1/KAP121 overexpression also improves the import of the hydrophobic protein Atm1p, an ABC transporter of the mitochondrial inner membrane [8].
  • L25 binds to Yrb4p and Pse1p and is released by Gsp1p-GTP [6].
  • Kap121p can be released from Nup53p by the GTP bound form of the small GTPase Ran [14].
  • We conclude from our in vivo and in vitro experiments that import of the essential histones is mediated mainly by the essential importin Pse1p, while the non-essential Kap114p functions in a parallel import pathway for H2A and H2B [15].
