Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionima-3 encodes one of three C. elegans importin alpha nuclear transport factors and the importin alpha that is most similar to the alpha3-subtype; ima-3 activity is required throughout development: during oogenesis, ima-3 is essential for progression past pachytene of meiotic prophase I and for proper organization of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) as well as association of P granules with the NPC; ima-3 is also required for normal embryonic, larval, and germline development; in vitro, IMA-3 can interact with human importin beta1, suggesting that it functions in a complex with C. elegans importin betas in vivo; IMA-3 is expressed in males and hermaphrodites, in both the germline and in somatic tissue; in the germline, IMA-3 is seen in the common cytoplasm of the rachis and in association with the nuclear envelope of germline nuclei and the residual body of developing spermatids.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004711

Automated_descriptionEnables DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; nuclear import signal receptor activity; and nuclear localization sequence binding activity. Involved in several processes, including NLS-bearing protein import into nucleus; cellular component organization; and nematode larval development. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear envelope. Part of nuclear pore. Expressed in germ line; gonad; hypodermis; muscle cell; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 88. Is an ortholog of human KPNA3 (karyopherin subunit alpha 3) and KPNA4 (karyopherin subunit alpha 4).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
