mRNA export factor GLE1

UniProtKB accession:  Q12315

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. It is specifically involved in a terminal step of poly(A)+ mRNA transport through the NPC probably by binding the ATP-dependent RNA helicase DBP5 and GFD1 at the cytoplasmic side of the NPC. These interactions are thought to be important for the dissociation of transport proteins such as the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein (hnRNP) NAB2 from exported mRNA.
