Function

NPL4_YEAST Involved in the import of nuclear-targeted proteins into the nucleus and the export of poly(A) RNA out of the nucleus (PubMed:8930904, PubMed:11733065). Has a role in the endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway (PubMed:11739805, PubMed:11740563, PubMed:11847109). Required for the proteasome-dependent processing/activation of MGA2 and SPT23 transcription factors leading to the subsequent expression of OLE1 (PubMed:11733065). Has an additional role in the turnover of OLE1 where it targets ubiquitinated OLE1 and other proteins to the ERAD (PubMed:11847109). Regulates ubiquitin-mediated mitochondria protein degradation (PubMed:21070972). Involved in spindle disassembly probably by promoting the degradation of spindle assemby factors ASE1 and CDC5 at the end of mitosis (PubMed:14636562).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]}
