We used a proteomic approach to identify proteins that associate with keratins 8 or 18 (K8/K18) in a pervanadate-dependent manner. Pervanadate triggers Ran-K8/K18 binding and a gel-migration-shift of Ran from 25 to 27 kDa, which does not occur upon exposure to H₂O₂ or vanadate or if pervanadate is excluded during cell solubilization. Generation of 27-kDa Ran is not related to hyperphosphorylation, is heat-insensitive, but occurs upon conversion of Ran cysteines to cysteic acid. The pervanadate-mediated Ran cysteine cysteic acid oxidation and its related gel migration shift affects other proteins including actin. Mutation of the three Ran cysteines (Cys-85, -112, and -120) showed that Ran Cys-112 oxidation generates 27-kDa Ran and accounts for its keratin binding. Proteasome inhibition accentuates Ran-keratin binding after cell exposure to pervanadate. Therefore, cell-free exposure to pervanadate causes cysteine to cysteic acid oxidation of Ran and several other proteins and Ran-K8/K18 association. In cells, stabilization of oxidized Ran by proteasome inhibition promotes Ran-keratin interaction. Keratin sequestration of oxidized Ran may provide a back-up protective mechanism in some cases of oxidative injury.
