Abstract

Ran, a member of the Ras superfamily of GTPases, is predominantly localized in the nucleus and is a necessary component in the active transport of proteins through nuclear pores. Disruption of Ran function affects the regulation of mitosis, DNA synthesis, and RNA processing and export. To explore the mechanisms of Ran function, mutants of the Ran GTPase were characterized, several of which are capable of dominantly interfering with nuclear protein import. Unlike wild-type Ran, the putative gain-of-function mutant (G19V Ran) was not sensitive to the exchange factor, RCC1. In addition the G19V Ran and effector domain mutants (L43E and E46G Ran) were not sensitive to the GTPase-activating protein, Fug1. Epitope-tagged G19V Ran and L43E Ran isolated from transfected BHK21 cells were each about 50% GTP-bound, whereas the wild-type and a C-terminal deletion mutant (Delta-DE Ran) were primarily bound to GDP. While G19V Ran interacted with known Ran-binding proteins and with an isolated Ran-binding domain, the T24N Ran did not, and binding by L43E Ran was substantially reduced. Wild-type HA1-tagged Ran expressed in BHK21 cells was nuclear, whereas the G19V, T24N, L43E, and E46G forms of Ran were predominantly localized at the nuclear e...Continue Reading
