ID:IMB1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Importin subunit beta-1; AltName: Full=Importin-90; AltName: Full=Karyopherin subunit beta-1; AltName: Full=Nuclear factor p97; AltName: Full=Pore targeting complex 97 kDa subunit; Short=PTAC97; FUNCTION: Functions in nuclear protein import, either in association with an adapter protein, like an importin-alpha subunit, which binds to nuclear localization signals (NLS) in cargo substrates, or by acting as autonomous nuclear transport receptor. Acting autonomously, serves itself as NLS receptor. 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. Mediates autonomously the nuclear import of ribosomal proteins RPL23A, RPS7 and RPL5. Binds to a beta-like import receptor binding (BIB) domain of RPL23A. In association with IPO7 mediates the nuclear import of H1 histone. In vitro, mediates nuclear import of H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 histones. In case of HIV-1 infection, binds and mediates the nuclear import of HIV-1 Rev. Imports PRKCI into the nucleus. SUBUNIT: Forms a complex with an importin alpha subunit. Forms a heterodimer with IPO7. Interacts with IPO7, SNUPN, RPL23A and XPO1. The KPNB1/IPO7 heterodimer interacts with H1 histone. Interacts with H2A, H2B, H3 and H4 histones (By similarity). Component of an import snRNP complex composed of KPNB1, SNUPN, SMN1 and ZNF259. Component of a nuclear export receptor complex composed of KPNB1, Ran, SNUPN and XPO1. Binds to HIV-1 Rev and Tat. Interacts with HTLV-1 Rex. Interacts with SRY. Interacts with PRKCI/atypical protein kinase C iota. Interacts with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) protein M. Interacts with KPNA7. INTERACTION: P04626:ERBB2; NbExp=14; IntAct=EBI-286758, EBI-641062; Q16637-3:SMN2; NbExp=5; IntAct=EBI-286758, EBI-395447; O75940:SMNDC1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-286758, EBI-1052641; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus envelope. PTM: Mono-ADP-ribosylated by PARP16. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the importin beta family. SIMILARITY: Contains 8 HEAT repeats. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 importin N-terminal domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
