A Functional Connection between RanGTP, NF-κB and Septic Shock

open access: yesJournal of Biomedical Science, 2003
RanGTPase is importantly involved in diverse biological functions, such as nuclear transport, spindle formation during mitosis, DNA replication and cell division. This review summarizes yet another new role of Ran - control of the activity of NF-kappaB in host immune responses.

Role of SoxE transcription factors in development and disease

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Sox8, Sox9, and Sox10 arose by multiple rounds of genome duplications from a single SoxE gene in ancestral vertebrates. In this review, we will briefly discuss the molecular structure and function of SoxE transcription factors and their evolutionary origin. We will then discuss their expression, function, and developmental disorders.

Structure of the exportin Xpo4 in complex with RanGTP and the hypusine-containing translation factor eIF5A

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Xpo4 imports Sox2 and other proteins into the cell nucleus, while exporting eIF5A or Smad3; how it recognizes these proteins has been unclear. Here, the authors solved the crystal structure of the RanGTP, Xpo4 and eIF5A complex and investigate how Xpo4 ...

Mutant NPM1 in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Initiation and Maintenance

open access: yesAging and Cancer, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 109-124, September 2026.
NPM1 mutations drive acute myeloid leukemia by acting as neomorphic transcriptional regulators that cooperate with Menin–MLL and XPO1 to sustain HOX/MEIS1 expression and block differentiation. Targeting these mutant‐specific transcriptional dependencies provides a rational therapeutic strategy for NPM1‐mutated AML.

A centriole- and RanGTP-independent spindle assembly pathway in meiosis I of vertebrate oocytes

open access: yes, 2007
International audienceSpindle formation is essential for stable inheritance of genetic material. Experiments in various systems indicate that Ran GTPase is crucial for meiotic and mitotic spindle assembly.

A mechanism of coupling RCC1 mobility to RanGTP production on the chromatin in vivo [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of Cell Biology, 2003
The RanGTP gradient across the interphase nuclear envelope and on the condensed mitotic chromosomes is essential for many cellular processes, including nucleocytoplasmic transport and spindle assembly. Although the chromosome-associated enzyme RCC1 is responsible for RanGTP production, the mechanism of generating and maintaining the RanGTP gradient in ...

Molecular bridging of mitotic RanGTP and Aurora B kinase in the maintenance of kinetochore-microtubule attachments

open access: yes, 2012
The multi-faceted RanGTPase has been implicated to be critically involved in nucleocytoplasmic transportation and cell cycle progression. However, the role of mitotic RanGTP in kinetochore-microtubule attachments at metaphase has yet to be described ...

Domain associated with zinc fingers‐containing NF90‐NF45 complex inhibits m6A modification of primary microRNA by suppressing METTL3/14 activity

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, Volume 16, Issue 5, Page 921-931, May 2026.
NF90–NF45 functions as a negative regulator of methyltransferase‐like 3/14 (METTL3/14)‐mediated N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification on primary microRNAs (pri‐miRNAs). NF90–NF45 binds to anti‐oncogenic pri‐miRNAs and inhibits their m6A modification, thereby suppressing the biogenesis of anti‐oncogenic miRNAs.
