Encodes a 237-kDA protein with similarity to vertebrate Tpr, a long coiled-coil proteins of nuclear pore inner basket filaments. It is localized to the inner surface of the nuclear envelope and is a component of the nuclear pore-associated steps of sumoylation and mRNA export in plants. Mutations affect flowering time regulation and other developmental processes. Probably acts in the same pathway as ESD4 in affecting flowering time, vegetative and inflorescence development.
