how Ran plays a role.

If a protein wants to know whether it is in the nucleus what does it need to recognize? Ran GTP 0 mcs5109 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:31:20 GMT view revision history
What is the GAP specific for Ran? Rna1p in the cytosol 0 mcs5109 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:27:36 GMT view revision history
What is the GEF specific for Ran? Where is it? What does it bind? Why is this important? Rcc1 in the nucleus 0 mcs5109 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:27:36 GMT view revision history
Why is it typically GTP that is bound after the GEF interacts with Ran? REPLACES with GTP 0 mcs5109 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 05:27:36 GMT view revision history
Understand that the transition from the GTP-bound to GDP-bound state happens
as the result of the enzymatic activity of the G protein (stimulated by the GAP)
In contrast, understand that the transition from the GDP-bound to the GTPbound
state happens as the result of exchange in binding one molecule for another.
