RanGTP enhances binding between an exportin and
its cargo but stimulates release of importin's cargo;
RanGDT has the opposite effect, namely, it stimulates
the release of exportin's cargo, but enhances the binding
between an importin and its cargo.  Therefore, the
exportin and its cargo may move together with RanGTP
inside the nucleus, but the cargo will be released as
soon as the complex moves into the cytoplasm (through
nuclear pores), since RanGTP will be converted to
RanGDP in the cytoplasm.  By contrast, the importin and
its cargo may move together with RanGDP in the
cytoplasm, but the cargo will be released in the nucleus
since RanGDP will be converted to RanGTP in the
nucleus.
