Nucleus/cytosol exchange requires a GTPase, Ran. In yeast Rna1p is the GTPase activating protein for Ran (RanGAP) and Prp20p is the Ran GDP/GTP exchange factor (GEF). RanGAP is primarily cytosolic and GEF is nuclear. 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. We provide three lines of evidence that Rna1p enters and leaves the nuclear interior. (1) Rna1p possesses leucine-rich nuclear export sequences (NES) that are able to relocate a passenger karyophilic protein to the cytosol; alterations of consensus residues re-establish nuclear location. (2) Rna1p possesses other sequences that function as a novel nuclear localization sequence able to deliver a passenger cytosolic protein to the nucleus. (3) Endogenous Rna1p location is dependent upon Xpo1p/Crm1p, the yeast exportin for leucine-rich NES-containing proteins. The data support the hypothesis that Rna1p exists on both sides of the nuclear membrane, perhaps regulating the Ran-GTP/Ran-GDP gradient, participating in a complete RanGTPase nuclear cycle or serving a novel function.
