Unlike other Ras superfamily proteins, Ran contains an auto-inhibitory C-terminal tail, which packs against its G domain and bias Ran towards binding GDP over GTP. The biological importance of this C- terminal tail is not well understood. By disrupting the interaction between the C-terminus and the G domain, we were able to generate Ran mutants that are innately active and potently bind to RanBP1 (Ran Binding Protein 1), nuclear export factor CRM1 and nuclear import factor KPNB1.

Much of what we know about RanBP1 is learned from fungi. Intrigued by the long-standing paradox of harboring an extra NES in animal RanBP1, we discovered utterly unexpected cargo dissociation and nuclear export mechanisms for animal RanBP1. In contrast to CRM1-RanGTP sequestration mechanism of cargo dissociation in fungi, animal RanBP1 solely sequestered RanGTP from nuclear export complexes. In fungi, RanBP1, CRM1 and RanGTP formed a 1:1:1 nuclear export complex; in contrast, animal RanBP1, CRM1 and RanGTP formed a 1:1:2 nuclear export complex. The key feature for the two mechanistic changes from fungi to animals was the loss of affinity between RanBP1-RanGTP and *For correspondence: CRM1, since residues mediating their interaction in fungi were not conserved in animals.

A High-Throughput Approach to Uncover Novel Roles of APOBEC2, a Functional Orphan of the AID/APOBEC Family

Unlike most of AID/APOBEC, however, APOBEC2’s function remains elusive. Previous research has implicated APOBEC2 in diverse organisms and cellular processes such as muscle biology (in Mus musculus), regeneration (in Danio rerio), and development (in Xenopus laevis). APOBEC2 has also been implicated in cancer. However the enzymatic activity, substrate or physiological target(s) of APOBEC2 are unknown. For this thesis, I have combined Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) techniques with state-of-the-art molecular biology to determine the physiological targets of APOBEC2. Using a cell culture muscle differentiation system, and RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq) by polyA capture, I demonstrated that unlike the AID/APOBEC family member APOBEC1, APOBEC2 is not an RNA editor. Using the same system combined with enhanced Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing (eRRBS) analyses I showed that, unlike the AID/APOBEC family member AID, APOBEC2 does not act as a 5-methyl-C deaminase.

NES Consensus Redefined by Structures of PKI-Type and Rev-Type Nuclear Export Signals Bound to CRM1
ARTICLES NES consensus redefined by structures of PKI-type and Rev-type nuclear export signals bound to CRM1 Thomas Güttler1,5, Tobias Madl2,3,5, Piotr Neumann4,5, Danilo Deichsel1, Lorenzo Corsini2,3, Thomas Monecke4, Ralf Ficner4, Michael Sattler2,3 & Dirk Görlich1 Classic nuclear export signals (NESs) confer CRM1-dependent nuclear export. Here we present crystal structures of the RanGTP−CRM1 complex alone and bound to the prototypic PKI or HIV-1 Rev NESs. These NESs differ markedly in the spacing of their key hydrophobic (F) residues, yet CRM1 recognizes them with the same rigid set of five F pockets. The different F spacings are compensated for by different conformations of the bound NESs: in the case of PKI, an a-helical conformation, and in the case of Rev, an extended conformation with a critical proline docking into a F pocket. NMR analyses of CRM1-bound and CRM1-free PKI NES suggest that CRM1 selects NES conformers that pre-exist in solution. Our data lead to a new structure-based NES consensus, and explain why NESs differ in their affinities for CRM1 and why supraphysiological NESs bind the exportin so tightly. Nuclear export is essential for eukaryotic life. It proceeds through HIV-1, for example, uses CRM1 to export its genomic RNA from nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and is typically accomplished by nuclei4,19,20. The HIV-1 Rev protein is an adaptor in this process. It exportins1,2. The most versatile exportin is CRM1 (also called binds the unspliced viral RNA, recruits CRM1 and thereby triggers exportin 1 or Xpo1p)3–7.
