Pab1 is the major poly(A)-binding protein in yeast. It is a multifunctional protein that mediates many cellular functions associated with the 3′-poly(A)-tail of messenger RNAs. Here, we characterize Pab1 as an export cargo of the protein export factor Xpo1/Crm1. Pab1 is a major Xpo1/Crm1-interacting protein in yeast extracts and binds directly to Xpo1/Crm1 in a RanGTP-dependent manner. Pab1 shuttles rapidly between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and partially accumulates in the nucleus when the function of Xpo1/Crm1 is inhibited. However, Pab1 can also be exported by an alternative pathway, which is dependent on the  MEX67 -mRNA export pathway. Import of Pab1 is mediated by the import receptor Kap108/Sxm1 through a nuclear localization signal in its fourth RNA-binding domain. Interestingly, inhibition of Pab1’s nuclear import causes a kinetic delay in the export of mRNA. Furthermore, the inviability of a  pab1  deletion strain is suppressed by a mutation in the 5′–3′ exoribonuclease  RRP6,  a component of the nuclear exosome. Therefore, nuclear Pab1 may be required for efficient mRNA export and may function in the quality control of mRNA in the nucleus.
