Human Gene RAN (ENST00000543796.6) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens RAN, member RAS oncogene family (RAN), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_006325)
RefSeq Summary (NM_006325): RAN (ras-related nuclear protein) is a small GTP binding protein belonging to the RAS superfamily that is essential for the translocation of RNA and proteins through the nuclear pore complex. The RAN protein is also involved in control of DNA synthesis and cell cycle progression. Nuclear localization of RAN requires the presence of regulator of chromosome condensation 1 (RCC1). Mutations in RAN disrupt DNA synthesis. Because of its many functions, it is likely that RAN interacts with several other proteins. RAN regulates formation and organization of the microtubule network independently of its role in the nucleus-cytosol exchange of macromolecules. RAN could be a key signaling molecule regulating microtubule polymerization during mitosis. RCC1 generates a high local concentration of RAN-GTP around chromatin which, in turn, induces the local nucleation of microtubules. RAN is an androgen receptor (AR) coactivator that binds differentially with different lengths of polyglutamine within the androgen receptor. Polyglutamine repeat expansion in the AR is linked to Kennedy's disease (X-linked spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy). RAN coactivation of the AR diminishes with polyglutamine expansion within the AR, and this weak coactivation may lead to partial androgen insensitivity during the development of Kennedy's disease.

  ID: RAN_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=GTP-binding nuclear protein Ran; AltName: Full=Androgen receptor-associated protein 24; AltName: Full=GTPase Ran; AltName: Full=Ras-like protein TC4; AltName: Full=Ras-related nuclear protein;
FUNCTION: GTP-binding protein involved in nucleocytoplasmic transport. Required for the import of protein into the nucleus and also for RNA export. Involved in chromatin condensation and control of cell cycle (By similarity). The complex with BIRC5/ survivin plays a role in mitotic spindle formation by serving as a physical scaffold to help deliver the RAN effector molecule TPX2 to microtubules. Acts as a negative regulator of the kinase activity of VRK1 and VRK2.
FUNCTION: Enhances AR-mediated transactivation. Transactivation decreases as the poly-Gln length within AR increases.
SUBUNIT: Monomer. Also forms a complex with CHC1 and interacts with the AR N-terminal poly-Gln region. The interaction with AR is inversely correlated with the poly-Gln length. Part of a complex consisting of RANBP9, Ran, DYRK1B and COPS5. Found in a nuclear export complex with RANBP3 and XPO1. Component of a nuclear export receptor complex composed of KPNB1, Ran, SNUPN and XPO1. Found in a trimeric export complex with SNUPN, Ran and XPO1. Interacts with RANBP10. In case of HIV-1 infection, found in a complex with HIV-1 Rev, RNAs containing a Rev response element (RRE) and XPO1. Found in a complex with HTLV-1 Rex, RANBP3 and XPO1. Interacts in its GTP-bound form with BIRC5/survivin at S and M phases of the cell cycle. Interacts with TERT; the interaction requires hydrogen peroxide-mediated phosphorylation of TERT and transports TERT to the nucleus. Interacts with MAD2L2. Interacts with RANBP10 (By similarity). Interacts with VRK1 and VRK3. Interacts with isoform 1 and isoform 2 of VRK2.
INTERACTION: P18754:RCC1; NbExp=6; IntAct=EBI-286642, EBI-992720; Q92973:TNPO1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-286642, EBI-286693; Q99986:VRK1; NbExp=12; IntAct=EBI-286642, EBI-1769146; Q86Y07-1:VRK2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-286642, EBI-1207633; Q86Y07-5:VRK2; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-286642, EBI-1207649;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Note=Predominantly nuclear during interphase (By similarity). Becomes dispersed throughout the cytoplasm during mitosis. Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in a variety of tissues.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Ran family.
SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAB93486.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Translation N-terminally extended;

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
