The transport receptor Crm1 mediates the export of diverse cargos containing leucine-rich nuclear export signals (NESs) through complex formation with RanGTP. To ensure efficient cargo release in the cytoplasm, NESs have evolved to display low affinity for Crm1. However, mechanisms that overcome low affinity to assemble Crm1-export complexes in the nucleus remain poorly understood. In this study, we reveal a new type of RanGTP-binding protein, Slx9, which facilitates Crm1 recruitment to the 40S pre-ribosome-associated NES-containing adaptor Rio2. In vitro, Slx9 binds Rio2 and RanGTP, forming a complex. This complex directly loads Crm1, unveiling a non-canonical stepwise mechanism to assemble a Crm1-export complex. A mutation in Slx9 that impairs Crm1-export complex assembly inhibits 40S pre-ribosome export. Thus, Slx9 functions as a scaffold to optimally present RanGTP and the NES to Crm1, therefore, triggering 40S pre-ribosome export. This mechanism could represent one solution to the paradox of weak binding events underlying rapid Crm1-mediated export.

Abstract This competitive immunoassay, based on inhibition by antigen of the idiotype-anti-idiotype interaction, detects adenosine deaminase binding protein (ABP), and involves use of monoclonal anti-idiotype antibodies prepared to a monoclonal antibody specific for ABP. The conditions for this new type of competitive immunoassay are investigated. This competitive immunoassay is as sensitive and reproducible as an earlier described "sandwich"-type immunoassay for ABP (Clin Chem 31: 679-683, 1985). Evaluation of urine samples from normal subjects and from patients showed increased concentrations of ABP in patients with renal disease.

ABSTRACT The obligate parasitic bacterium Streptococcus equisubsp. equi is the causative agent of strangles, a serious disease of the upper respiratory tract in horses. In this study we have, using shotgun phage display, cloned from S. equisubsp. equi and characterized a gene, calledsfs, encoding a protein termed SFS, representing a new type of fibronectin (Fn)-binding protein. The sfs gene was found to be present in all 50 isolates of S. equi subsp.equi tested and in 41 of 48 S. equi subsp.zooepidemicus isolates tested. The sfs gene is down-regulated during growth in vitro compared to fnz, a previously characterized gene encoding an Fn-binding protein fromS. equi subsp. zooepidemicus. Sequence comparisons revealed no similarities to previously characterized Fn-binding proteins, but high scores were obtained against collagen. Besides similarity due to the high content of glycine, serine, and proline residues present in both proteins, there was a nine-residue motif present both in collagen and in the Fn-binding domain of SFS. By searching the Oklahoma S. pyogenes database, we found that this motif is also present in a potential cell surface protein fromS. pyogenes. Protein SFS was found to inhibit the binding between Fn and collagen in a concentration-dependent way.
