GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Like many histone chaperones, which prevent inappropriate non-nucleosomal interactions, Importin-9 also sequesters H2A-H2B from DNA. Importin-9 appears to act as a storage chaperone for H2A-H2B while escorting it to the nucleus.
Title: Importin-9 wraps around the H2A-H2B core to act as nuclear importer and histone chaperone.
CFL1 itself does not translocate actin into the cell nucleus but this transport requires the functional expression of IPO9.
Title: Downregulation of importin-9 protects MCF-7 cells against apoptosis induced by the combination of garlic-derived alliin and paclitaxel.
IPO9 associates with 2 stable stem-loop structures of the IFN-epsilon 5'UTR. IPO9 overexpression decreased, and IPO9 silencing increased basal IFN-epsilon expression.
Title: Novel role for molecular transporter importin 9 in posttranscriptional regulation of IFN-ε expression.
specific interaction between a member of the importin beta/karyopherin beta superfamily, importin 9, and the A subunit of PP2A (PR65)
Title: Interaction between protein phosphatase 2A and members of the importin beta superfamily.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
