Abstract:
In vertebrate cells, the nucleoporin Nup358/RanBP2 is a major component of the filaments that emanate from the nuclear pore complex into the cytoplasm. Nup358 forms a complex with SUMOylated RanGAP1, the GTPase activating protein for Ran. RanGAP1 plays a pivotal role in the establishment of a RanGTP gradient across the nuclear envelope and, hence, in the majority of nucleocytoplasmic transport pathways. Here, we investigate the roles of the Nup358-RanGAP1 complex and of soluble RanGAP1 in nuclear protein transport, combining in vivo and in vitro approaches. Depletion of Nup358 by RNA interfere

Abstract:
GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for Ran, a Ras-related GTPase participating in nucleocytoplasmic transport, have been identified in different species ranging from yeast to man. All RanGAPs are characterized by a conserved domain consisting of eight leucine-rich repeats (LRRs) interrupted at two positions by so-called separating regions, the latter being unique for RanGAPs within the family of LRR proteins. The cytosolic RanGAP activity is essential for the Ran GTPase cycle which in turn provides directionality in nucleocytoplasmic transport, but the structural basis for the interaction betwe

Abstract:
Although the Ran GTPase-activating protein RanGAP mainly functions in the cytoplasm, several lines of evidence indicate a nuclear function of RanGAP. We found that Schizosaccharomyces pombe RanGAP, SpRna1, bound the core of histone H3 (H3) and enhanced Clr4-mediated H3-lysine 9 (K9) methylation. This enhancement was not observed for methylation of the H3-tail containing K9 and was independent of SpRna1–RanGAP activity, suggesting that SpRna1 itself enhances Clr4-mediated H3-K9 methylation via H3. Although most SpRna1 is in the cytoplasm, some cofractionated with H3. Sprna1ts mutations caused d

Abstract:
ABSTRACT RanBP type proteins have been reported to increase the catalytic efficiency of the RanGAP-mediated GTPase reaction on Ran. Since the structure of the Ran-RanBP1-RanGAP complex showed RanBP1 to be located away from the active site, we reinvestigated the reaction using fluorescence spectroscopy under pre-steady-state conditions. We can show that RanBP1 indeed does not influence the rate-limiting step of the reaction, which is the cleavage of GTP and/or the release of product Pi. It does, however, influence the dynamics of the Ran-RanGAP interaction, its most dramatic effect being the 20

ABSTRACT CRM1 is an export receptor mediating rapid nuclear exit of proteins and RNAs to the cytoplasm. CRM1 export cargoes include proteins with a leucine-rich nuclear export signal (NES) that bind directly to CRM1 in a trimeric complex with RanGTP. Using a quantitative CRM1-NES cargo binding assay, significant differences in affinity for CRM1 among natural NESs are demonstrated, suggesting that the steady-state nucleocytoplasmic distribution of shuttling proteins could be determined by the relative strengths of their NESs.

Segregation Distorter (SD) is an autosomal meiotic drive system found worldwide in natural populations of Drosophila melanogaster. This gene complex induces the preferential and nearly exclusive transmission of the SD chromosome in SD/SD+ males. This selfish propagation occurs through the interplay of the Sd locus, its enhancers and the Rsps locus during spermatid development. The key distorter locus, Sd, encodes a truncated but enzymatically active RanGAP (RanGTPase-activating protein), a key nuclear transport factor in the Ran signaling pathway. When encoded by Sd, RanGAP is mislocalized to

Their subcellular distributions led to the prediction that Ran-GTP hydrolysis takes place solely in the cytosol and GDP/GTP exchange solely in the nucleus. Current models propose that the Ran-GTP/Ran-GDP gradient across the nuclear membrane determines the direction of exchange.

Abstract:
Transport of macromolecules between the nuclear and cytoplasmic compartments through NPCs (nuclear pore complexes) is mediated by soluble transport factors that are commonly members of the importin-β superfamily. In the nuclear protein import cycle, importin-β binds cargo in the cytoplasm (usually via the importin-α adaptor) and transports it through NPCs with which it interacts transiently by way of NPC proteins (‘nucleoporins’) that contain distinctive FG (Phe-Gly) sequence repeats. In the nucleus, Ran-GTP binds to importin-β, dissociating the import complex. The importin-β–Ran-GTP complex r

Abstract:
Three of the four independently induced KetelDdominantnegative female sterile mutations that identify the Drosophila importin-β gene, originated from a C4114→ T transition and the concurrent replacement of Pro446 by Leu (P446L). CD spectroscopy of representative peptides with Pro or Leu in the crucial position revealed that upon the Pro→Leu exchange the P446L mutant protein loses flexibility and attains most likely an open conformation. The P446L mutation abolishes RanGTP binding of the P446L mutant form of importin-β protein and results in increased RanGDP binding ability. Notably, the P446L

Abstract:
Scyl1 is an evolutionarily conserved N-terminal protein kinase-like domain protein that plays a role in COP1-mediated retrograde protein trafficking in mammalian cells. Furthermore, loss of Scyl1 function has been shown to result in neurodegenerative disorders in mice. Here, we report that Scyl1 is also a cytoplasmic component of the mammalian nuclear tRNA export machinery. Like exportin-t, overexpression of Scyl1 restored export of a nuclear export-defective serine amber suppressor tRNA mutant in COS-7 cells. Scyl1 binds tRNA saturably, and associates with the nuclear pore complex by interact

Abstract:
Segregation Distorter (SD) is a naturally occurring male meiotic drive system in Drosophila melanogaster, characterized by almost exclusive transmission of the SD chromosome owing to dysfunction of sperm receiving the SD+ homolog. Previous studies identified at least three closely linked loci on chromosome 2 required for distortion: Sd, the primary distorting gene; E(SD) (Enhancer of SD), which increases the strength of distortion; and Rsp (Responder), the apparent target of Sd. Strength of distortion is also influenced by linked upward modifiers including M(SD) (Modifier of SD) and St(SD) (St

Abstract:
We have identified a novel pathway for protein import into the nucleus. We have shown that the previously identified but uncharacterized yeast protein Nmd5p functions as a karyopherin. It was therefore designated Kap119p (karyopherin with Mr of 119 kD). We localized Kap119p to both the nucleus and the cytoplasm. We identified the transcription elongation factor TFIIS as its major cognate import substrate. The cytoplasmic Kap119p exists as an approximately stoichiometric complex with TFIIS. RanGTP, not RanGDP, dissociated the isolated Kap119p/TFIIS complex and bound to Kap119p. Kap119p also bou

Abstract:
Nuclear tRNA export plays an essential role in several key cellular processes, such as regulation of protein synthesis, cell cycle progression, response to nutrient availability and DNA damage, and development. While the overall mechanism of nuclear tRNA export is, in general, poorly understood, the details of specific steps are emerging from studies conducted in different organisms aimed at identifying and characterizing components involved in the process. Here, we report that Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh At2g40730 encodes CTEXP, a cytoplasmic protein component of the nuclear tRNA export p

Abstract Background We and others have shown that normal human erythroid cell maturation requires a transient activation of caspase-3 at late stages of maturation (Zermati et al, J Exp Med 2001). We further documented that, in human erythroblasts, the chaperone HSP70 is constitutively expressed and, at late stages of maturation, translocates into the nucleus and protects GATA-1, the master transcriptional factor critical for erythropoiesis, from caspase-3 cleavage (Ribeil et al, Nature 2007). During the maturation of human β-TM erythroblasts, HSP70 is sequestrated by excess of α-globin chains

RanGAP1 was the first documented substrate for conjugation with the ubiquitin-like protein SUMO-1. However, the functional significance of this conjugation has not been fully clarified. We sought to examine RanGAP1 behavior during mitosis. We found that RanGAP1 associates with mitotic spindles and that it is particularly concentrated at foci near kinetochores. Association with kinetochores appeared soon after nuclear envelope breakdown and persisted until late anaphase, but it was lost coincident with nuclear envelope assembly in telophase.
