Function

Mediates the import of RPA complex into the nucleus, possibly via some interaction with importin beta. Isoform 2 is sumoylated and mediates the localization of RPA complex into the PML body of the nucleus, thereby participating in RPA function in DNA metabolism.

Post-translational modifications

Isoform 2

Sumoylated. Sumoylation is required for localization in the nuclear PML body and transport of RPA complex in PML body. Upon UV irradiation and during S phase, it is desumoylated, releasing RPA complex that is translocated to sites of DNA damage. Sumoylation takes place at different Lys residues. Variant 'Lys-103' adds a sumoylation site and increases total sumoylation levels.

Tissue specificity

Widely expressed. Expressed in pancreas, kidney, muscle, liver, lung, placenta, brain, heart, leukocytes, colon, intestine, ovary, testis, prostate, thymus and spleen.
