摘要
RanGAP1 is the GTPase activator for the nuclear Ras-related regulatory protein Ran, converting it to the putatively inactive GDP-bound state, Here, we report the amino acid sequence of RanGAP1, derived from cDNA and peptide sequences. We found it to be homologous to murine Fug1, implicated in early embryonic development, and to Rna1p from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Mutations of budding yeast RNA1 are known to result in defects in RNA processing and nucleocytoplasmic mRNA transport. Concurrently, we have isolated Rna1p as the major RanGAP activity from Sc. pombe, Both this protein and recombinant Rna1p were found to stimulate RanGTPase activity to an extent almost identical to that of human RanGAP1, indicating the functional significance of the sequence homology. The Ran-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 and its yeast homologues are restricted to the nucleus, while Rna1p is reported to be localized to the cytoplasm. We suggest a model in which both activities, nuclear GDP-to-GTP exchange on Ran and cytoplasmic hydrolysis of Ran-bound GTP, are essential for shuttling of Ran between the two cellular compartments. Thus, a defect in either of the two antagonistic regulators of Ran would result in a shutdown of Ran-dependent transport processes, in agreement with the almost identical phenotypes described for such defects in budding yeast.
