== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/RAN_HUMAN RAN_HUMAN] 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.<ref>PMID:10400640</ref> <ref>PMID:8692944</ref> <ref>PMID:18591255</ref> <ref>PMID:18617507</ref>   Enhances AR-mediated transactivation. Transactivation decreases as the poly-Gln length within AR increases.<ref>PMID:10400640</ref> <ref>PMID:8692944</ref> <ref>PMID:18591255</ref> <ref>PMID:18617507</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Transport receptors of the Importin beta family shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm and mediate transport of macromolecules through nuclear pore complexes. They interact specifically with the GTP-binding protein Ran, which in turn regulates their interaction with cargo. Here, we report the three-dimensional structure of a complex between Ran bound to the nonhydrolyzable GTP analog GppNHp and a 462-residue fragment from Importin beta. The structure of Importin beta shows 10 tandem repeats resembling HEAT and Armadillo motifs. They form an irregular crescent, the concave site of which forms the interface with Ran-triphosphate. The importin-binding site of Ran does not overlap with that of the Ran-binding domain of RanBP2.
