Document Summary

Import and export maintained by plasma proteins called ran gtpases. play role in import and export. Ran gtpase cycles btw gtp-bound and gdp-bound states. Ran-gap regulates gtpase. it stimulates gtp hydrolysis by ran- Ran-gef promotes exchange of gtp for gdp by ran-gap. Ran-gap localized in cytosol. and ran-gef in nucleus. high [] ran-gap in cytosol therefore high ran-gtp in nucleus high [] ran-gef in nucleus therefore low [] ran-gtp in cytosol critical for direction of transport. Ran-gtp carries with it nuclear export receptors to cytosol and ran-gdp carries with it ntf2 to nucleus. Nuclear import of cargo movement from cytosol to nucleus nuclear import receptor binds to cargo in cytosol receptor and cargo then move through nuclear pore complex into nucleus. Ran-gtp binding causes cargo release now, you need to recycle import receptor. empty import receptor and ran-gtp move to cytosol.
