Cellular Requirements for CRM1 Import and Export

Department of Molecular Virology, Institute for Genetic Medicine, Hokkaido University, Hokkaido 060-0815
We studied the cellular requirements for the translocation of CRM1 (exportin 1) between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. CRM1 import requires neither ATP, Ran, Ran-dependent GTP hydrolysis, nor a particular temperature. CRM1 and importin ß compete with each other during their import. Thus, CRM1 is able to enter the nucleus in a manner similar to importinß. In contrast, the in vivo export of CRM1 involves ATP-consuming step(s).
