NCBI Protein Information
ARM repeat superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
Encodes IMPORTIN ALPHA 3. Mutant plants act as suppressors of snc1 response and salicylic acid accumulation. Located in the nucleus. Involved in protein import. Protein interacts with Agrobacterium proteins VirD2 and VirE2. Is not individually essential for Agrobacterium-mediated root transformation, but when overexpressed can rescue the impa-4 decreased transformation susceptibility phenotype.

UniProt Comments
Binds to conventional NLS motifs and mediates nuclear protein import across the nuclear envelope . Acts as cellular receptor for the nuclear import of the virD2 protein of Agrobacterium, but is not essential for Agrobacterium-mediated root transformation (PubMed:18836040). May be involved in the regulation of pathogen-induced salicylic acid accumulation (PubMed:15964279).
