Nucleus-associated pools of Rna1p, the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Ran/TC4 GTPse activating protein involved in nucleus/cytosol transit

Abstract

Rna1p is the GTPase activating enzyme for Ran/TC4, a Ras-like GTPase necessary for nuclear/cytosolic exchange. Although most wild-type Rna1p is located in the cytosol, we found that the vast majority of the mutant Rna1-1p and, under appropriate physiological conditions, a small portion of the wild-type Rna1p cofractionate with yeast nuclei. Subnuclear fractionation studies show that most of the Rna1p is tightly associated with nuclear components, and that a portion of the active protein can be solubilized by treatments that fail to solubilize inactive Rna1-1p. To learn the precise nuclear locations of the Rna1 proteins, we studied their subcellular distributions in HeLa cells. By indirect immuno-fluorescence we show that wild-type Rna1p has three subcellular locations. The majority of the protein is distributed throughout the cytosol, but a portion of the protein is nucleus-associated, located at both the cytosolic surface and within the nucleoplasm. Mutant Rna1-1p is found at the outer nuclear surface and in the cytosol. We propose that a small pool of the wild-type Rna1p is located in the nuclear interior, supporting the model that the same components of the Ran/TC4 GTPase cycle exist on both sides of the nuclear membrane.
