Nuclear RNA export factor 1

UniProtKB accession:  Q9UBU9

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the nuclear export of mRNA species bearing retroviral constitutive transport elements (CTE) and in the export of mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm (TAP/NFX1 pathway) (PubMed:10924507). The NXF1-NXT1 heterodimer is involved in the export of HSP70 mRNA in conjunction with ALYREF/THOC4 and THOC5 components of the TREX complex (PubMed:18364396, PubMed:19165146, PubMed:9660949). ALYREF/THOC4-bound mRNA is thought to be transferred to the NXF1-NXT1 heterodimer for export (PubMed:18364396, PubMed:19165146, PubMed:9660949). Also involved in nuclear export of m6A-containing mRNAs: interaction between SRSF3 and YTHDC1 facilitates m6A-containing mRNA-binding to both SRSF3 and NXF1, promoting mRNA nuclear export (PubMed:28984244).
