Abstract

The human nucleoporin RanBP2/Nup358 interacts with SUMO1-modified RanGAP1 and the SUMO E2 Ubc9 at the nuclear pore complex (NPC) to promote export and disassembly of exportin Crm1/Ran(GTP)/cargo complexes. In mitosis, RanBP2/SUMO1-RanGAP1/Ubc9 remains intact after NPC disassembly and is recruited to kinetochores and mitotic spindles by Crm1 where it contributes to mitotic progression. Interestingly, RanBP2 binds SUMO1-RanGAP1/Ubc9 via motifs that also catalyze SUMO E3 ligase activity. Here, we resolve cryo-EM structures of a RanBP2 C-terminal fragment in complex with Crm1, SUMO1-RanGAP1/Ubc9, and two molecules of Ran(GTP). These structures reveal several unanticipated interactions with Crm1 including a nuclear export signal (NES) for RanGAP1, the deletion of which mislocalizes RanGAP1 and the Ran GTPase in cells. Our structural and biochemical results support models in which RanBP2 E3 ligase activity is dependent on Crm1, the RanGAP1 NES and Ran GTPase cycling.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
