Ran is a small monomeric G protein

That exists in either a GTP-bound or a GDP-bound conformation & provides the energy to drive unidirectional transport of macromolecules through the nuclear pore.

Nuclear-export signal (NES)

ribonuclear protein complexes that shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Such shuttling proteins contain NES.

Shuttling protein have identified at least three different types of NESs: 

A. A leucine-rich sequence found in PKI 

B. In the Rev protein of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)

C. In two heterogeneous ribonucleoprotein particles (hnRNPs)
