Functions in nuclear protein import as an adapter protein for nuclear receptor KPNB1. Binds specifically and directly to substrates containing either a simple or bipartite NLS motif. Docking of the importin/substrate complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is mediated by KPNB1 through binding to nucleoporin FxFG repeats and the complex is subsequently translocated through the pore by an energy requiring, Ran-dependent mechanism. At the nucleoplasmic side of the NPC, Ran binds to importin-beta and the three components separate and importin-alpha and -beta are re-exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where GTP hydrolysis releases Ran from importin. The directionality of nuclear import is thought to be conferred by an asymmetric distribution of the GTP- and GDP-bound forms of Ran between the cytoplasm and nucleus

Interaction

Heterodimer; with KPNB1 (PubMed:17596301). Interacts with ANP32E (By similarity). Component of a complex containing CSE1L, RAN and KPNA2. Interacts directly with CSE1L. Interacts with PLAG1. Interacts with APEX1 (via N-terminus). Interacts with FRG1 (via N-terminus). Interacts with ARL4A, CTNNBL1 and NBN. Interacts with SNAI1 (via zinc fingers) and SNAI2 (via zinc fingers). Interacts with BAG6 (PubMed:29042515). Interacts with AIFM2; this interaction likely mediates the translocation of AIFM2 into the nucleus upon oxidative stress. (Microbial infection) Interacts with HIV-1 Vpr. (Microbial infection) Part of a tetrameric complex composed of CRM1, importin alpha/beta dimer and the Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV) capsid; this complex blocks the receptor-mediated transport through the nuclear pore. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS-COV virus ORF6 protein; this interaction blocks the receptor-mediated transport through the nuclear pore. (Microbial infection) Interacts with Zika virus RNA-directed RNA polymerase NS5. (Microbial infection) Interacts with SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 protein; this interaction may inhibit IFN-beta production by blocking IRF3 nuclear translocation.
