Signal-dependent nuclear protein export was studied in perforated nuclei and isolated nuclear envelopes of Xenopus oocytes by optical single transporter recording. Manually isolated and purified oocyte nuclei were attached to isoporous filters and made permeable for macromolecules by perforation. Export of a recombinant protein (GG-NES) containing the nuclear export signal (NES) of the protein kinase A inhibitor through nuclear envelope patches spanning filter pores could be induced by the addition of GTP alone. Export continued against a concentration gradient, and was NES dependent and inhibited by leptomycin B and GTPγS, a nonhydrolyzable GTP analogue. Addition of recombinant RanBP3, a potential cofactor of CRM1-dependent export, did not promote GG-NES export at stoichiometric concentration but gradually inhibited export at higher concentrations. In isolated filter-attached nuclear envelopes, export of GG-NES was virtually abolished in the presence of GTP alone. However, a preformed export complex consisting of GG-NES, recombinant human CRM1, and RanGTP was rapidly exported. Unexpectedly, export was strongly reduced when the export complex contained RanGTPγS or RanG19V/Q69L-GTP, a GTPase-deficient Ran mutant. This paper shows that nuclear transport, previously studied in intact and permeabilized cells only, can be quantitatively analyzed in perforated nuclei and isolated nuclear envelopes.

Abstract Erythropoietin-refractory anemias and red cell aplasias are rare but devastating disorders in children, with no known treatment other than chronic transfusions and bone marrow transplant, with high morbidity and mortality. New, improved treatments for such anemias are severely limited by incomplete understanding of critical terminal erythroid processes such as enucleation. Our long-term goal is to understand the regulation of erythroid nuclear condensation culminating in enucleation in order to increase our basic knowledge of important cell biology concepts like nuclear export and nuclear condensation during erythropoiesis and ultimately help optimize new treatments for anemia. Proteomic examination of normal pycnotic nuclei from mouse fetal liver (definitive adult erythropoiesis) revealed a striking decrease in almost all nuclear proteins, suggesting that nuclear protein export occurs prior to extrusion. Expression of the nuclear exportin, Exportin 7 (Xpo7) is highly erythroid-specific—utilizing a tightly-regulated erythroid-specific promoter, induced during erythropoiesis, and abundant in late erythroblasts. Knockdown of Xpo7 in primary mouse fetal liver erythroblasts resulted in severe disruption of chromatin condensation and enucleation but otherwise had little effect on erythroid differentiation, including hemoglobin accumulation (manuscript submitted), suggesting that protein export is crucial to the process of nuclear condensation. Nuclei in Xpo7 knockdown cells were larger and less dense than controls. Strikingly, DNA binding proteins such as histones H2A and H3 accumulated in the cytoplasm of normal late erythroblasts prior to and during enucleation, but not in cells lacking Xpo7. We have confirmed by chromatin immunoprecipitation and RACE-PCR that there is an erythroid-specific promoter (and start-site) for Xpo7, whose expression is not conserved in lower vertebrates or in primitive mouse erythroblasts. We hypothesize that the erythroid-specific function of Xpo7 therefore may account for the fact that red cells are not enucleated in these other biological systems. We have also performedimmunoprecipitation on the erythroid and non-erythroid forms of Xpo7 and determined several erythroid-specific cargo proteins of Xpo7 that are involved with other types of chromatin condensation (including Rcc1 which is involved in chromosome condensation). We are starting to build a model for how Xpo7 facilitates the removal and replacement of histones in the erythroblast nucleus in order to allow adequate nuclear condensation for extrusion. Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Nup98 is a mobile nucleoporin that forms distinct dots in the nucleus, and, although a role for Nup98 in nuclear transport has been suggested, its precise function remains unclear. Here, we show that Nup98 plays an important role in Crm1-mediated nuclear protein export. Nuclear, but not cytoplasmic, dots of EGFP-tagged Nup98 disappeared rapidly after cell treatment with leptomycin B, a specific inhibitor of the nuclear export receptor, Crm1. Mutational analysis demonstrated that Nup98 physically and functionally interacts with Crm1 in a RanGTP-dependent manner through its N-terminal phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeat region. Moreover, the activity of the Nup98-Crm1 complex was modulated by RanBP3, a known cofactor for Crm1-mediated nuclear export. Finally, cytoplasmic microinjection of anti-Nup98 inhibited the Crm1-dependent nuclear export of proteins, concomitant with the accumulation of anti-Nup98 in the nucleus. These results clearly demonstrate that Nup98 functions as a novel shuttling cofactor for Crm1-mediated nuclear export in conjunction with RanBP3.

ABSTRACT Active transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm requires signals for import and export and their recognition by shuttling receptors. Each class of macromolecule is thought to have a distinct receptor that mediates the transport reaction. Assembly and disassembly reactions of receptor-substrate complexes are coordinated by Ran, a GTP-binding protein whose nucleotide state is regulated catalytically by effector proteins. Ran function is modulated in a noncatalytic fashion by NTF2, a protein that mediates nuclear import of Ran-GDP. Here we characterize a novel component of the Ran system that is 26% identical to NTF2, which based on its function we refer to as NTF2-related export protein 1 (NXT1). In contrast to NTF2, NXT1 preferentially binds Ran-GTP, and it colocalizes with the nuclear pore complex (NPC) in mammalian cells. These properties, together with the fact that NXT1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, suggest an active role in nuclear transport. Indeed, NXT1 stimulates nuclear protein export of the NES-containing protein PKI in vitro. The export function of NXT1 is blocked by the addition of leptomycin B, a compound that selectively inhibits the NES receptor Crm1. Thus, NXT1 regulates the Crm1-dependent export pathway through its direct interaction with Ran-GTP.
