Nuclear protein trafficking requires the soluble transport factor RanBP1. The subcellular distribution of RanBP1 is dynamic, as the protein shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. To date, the signaling pathways regulating RanBP1 subcellular localization are poorly understood. During interphase, RanBP1 resides mostly in the cytoplasm. We show here that oxidative stress concentrates RanBP1 in the nucleus, and our study defines the underlying mechanisms. Specifically, RanBP1's cysteine residues are not essential for its oxidant-induced relocation. Furthermore, our pharmacological approaches uncover that signaling mediated by epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and protein kinase A (PKA) control RanBP1 localization during stress. In particular, pharmacological inhibitors of EGFR or PKA diminish the oxidant-dependent relocation of RanBP1. Mutant analysis identified serine 60 and tyrosine 103 as regulators of RanBP1 nuclear accumulation during oxidant exposure. Taken together, our results define RanBP1 as a target of oxidative stress and a downstream effector of EGFR and PKA signaling routes. This positions RanBP1 at the intersection of important cellular signaling circuits.
