Karyopherin alpha homolog; forms a dimer with karyopherin beta Kap95p to mediate import of nuclear proteins, binds the nuclear localization signal of the substrate during import; involved in cotranslational protein degradation; binds ribosome-bound nascent polypeptides; Srp1p and Sts1p couple proteasomes to nascent polypeptides emerging from the ribosome for cotranslational degradation [Source:SGD;Acc:S000005133]
