InterPro domain: IPR028155

This entry represents the middle domain of replication protein A (RPA) interacting protein. RPA interacting protein is involved in the import of RPA into the nucleus. This domain is responsible for interaction with RPA [ 1 , 2 ].

1. Nuclear import of RPA in Xenopus egg extracts requires a novel protein XRIPalpha but not importin alpha. EMBO J. 18, 4348-58
2. Sumoylation of the novel protein hRIP{beta} is involved in replication protein A deposition in PML nuclear bodies. Mol. Cell. Biol. 25, 8202-14
