Description: Homo sapiens exportin 7 (XPO7), mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_015024): The transport of protein and large RNAs through the nuclear pore complexes (NPC) is an energy-dependent and regulated process. The import of proteins with a nuclear localization signal (NLS) is accomplished by recognition of one or more clusters of basic amino acids by the importin-alpha/beta complex; see MIM 600685 and MIM 602738. The small GTPase RAN (MIM 601179) plays a key role in NLS-dependent protein import. RAN-binding protein-16 is a member of the importin-beta superfamily of nuclear transport receptors.[supplied by OMIM, Jul 2002]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr8:21,777,180-21,864,096 Size: 86,917 Total Exon Count: 28 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr8:21,777,282-21,862,599 Size: 85,318 Coding Exon Count: 28
ID:XPO7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Exportin-7; Short=Exp7; AltName: Full=Ran-binding protein 16; FUNCTION: Mediates the nuclear export of proteins (cargos) with broad substrate specificity. In the nucleus binds cooperatively to its cargo and to the GTPase Ran in its active GTP-bound form. Docking of this trimeric complex to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is mediated through binding to nucleoporins. Upon transit of a nuclear export complex into the cytoplasm, disassembling of the complex and hydrolysis of Ran-GTP to Ran-GDP (induced by RANBP1 and RANGAP1, respectively) cause release of the cargo from the export receptor. XPO7 then return to the nuclear compartment and mediate another round of transport. The directionality of nuclear export is thought to be conferred by an asymmetric distribution of the GTP- and GDP-bound forms of Ran between the cytoplasm and nucleus. SUBUNIT: Binds to nucleoporins. Found in a complex with XPO7, EIF4A1, ARHGAP1, VPS26A, VPS29, VPS35 and SFN. Interacts with ARHGAP1 and SFN. Interacts with Ran and cargo proteins in a GTP- dependent manner. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Nucleus (Probable). Nucleus, nuclear pore complex (Probable). Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm (Probable). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Strong expression in testis, thyroid and bone marrow, low expression in lung, liver and small intestine, no expression in thymus, and remaining tissues studied have moderate expression. Expressed in red blood cells; overexpressed in red blood cells (cytoplasm) of patients with hereditary non- spherocytic hemolytic anemia of unknown etiology. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the exportin family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 importin N-terminal domain. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=BAA34465.1; Type=Erroneous initiation;

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
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.
