Switch #:
SWTI000495
Switch type:
Binary
Switch subtype:
Pre-translational

Description:
Alternative splicing removes the nuclear localisation signal (NLS) of Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG), abrogating binding to Importin subunit alpha-1 (KPNA1) and import into the nucleus. In Isoform UNG1 of Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) the NLS present in Isoform UNG2 of Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) is replaced with a mitochondrial localisation signal (MLS), promoting different localisations of the different protein isoforms.

Participants:
(1) Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG)
(2) Importin subunit alpha-1 (KPNA1)

Interactions
Interaction #1 UNG - KPNA1

Interfaces
(1) TRG_NLS_MonoExtN_4 motif (15PARKRHA21) in Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG)
(2) Armadillo/beta-catenin-like repeat (115-451) in Importin subunit alpha-1 (KPNA1)

Interaction Regulation
Alternative splicing Abrogation of the Uracil-DNA glycosylase (UNG) TRG_NLS_MonoExtN_4 motif - Importin subunit alpha-1 (KPNA1) Armadillo/beta-catenin-like repeat interaction

Context
References

(1) Nuclear and mitochondrial splice forms of human uracil-DNA glycosylase contain a complex nuclear localisation signal and a strong classical mitochondrial localisation signal, respectively.
