The shared C-terminal region is a GNAT-family acetyltransferase that directly acetylates MCM3 and, when overexpressed, inhibits the initiation (but not elongation) of DNA replication in an acetyltransferase- and MCM3-interaction-dependent manner [PMID:11258703, PMID:12226073]. GANP serves as the central scaffold of the mammalian TREX-2 mRNA export machinery: its N-terminal FG-motif region binds the export factor NXF1 and nuclear pore complexes, and its loss traps mRNPs and NXF1 in nuclear foci [PMID:20005110]. GANP-dependent export is selective, acting on roughly half of NXF1-dependent transcripts—short-lived, highly expressed mRNAs enriched for gene-expression machinery—and is required for export of Shugoshin-1 mRNA, linking GANP loss to G2/M arrest, centromeric cohesin loss, and premature sister-chromatid separation [PMID:24510098, PMID:20384790]. In germinal-center B cells GANP couples mRNA export to antibody diversification by recruiting AID from cytoplasm to the nucleus and to transcribed IgV loci, remodeling IgV chromatin via its HAT domain and an Spt5 interaction, and steering AID-induced double-strand break repair toward homologous recombination through a DNA-PKcs interaction while suppressing aberrant recombination via its Sac3-homology domain [PMID:20507984, PMID:23652018, PMID:24808370, PMID:17903179].

full-length 210 kDa germinal-center protein GANP and the shorter C-terminal MCM3AP/Map80, which occupy different subcellular compartments [#7, #4]. The shared C-terminal region is a GNAT-family acetyltransferase that directly acetylates MCM3 and, when overexpressed, inhibits the initiation (but not elongation) of DNA replication in an acetyltransferase- and MCM3-interaction-dependent manner [#0, #1]. GANP serves as the central scaffold of the mammalian TREX-2 mRNA export machinery: its N-terminal FG-motif region binds the export factor NXF1 and nuclear pore complexes, and its loss traps mRNPs and NXF1 in nuclear foci [#6]. GANP-dependent export is selective, acting on roughly half of NXF1-dependent transcripts—short-lived, highly expressed mRNAs enriched for gene-expression machinery—and is required for export of Shugoshin-1 mRNA, linking GANP loss to G2/M arrest, centromeric cohesin loss, and premature sister-chromatid separation [#11, #8]. In germinal-center B cells GANP couples mRNA export to antibody diversification by recruiting AID from cytoplasm to the nucleus and to transcribed IgV loci, remodeling IgV chromatin via its HAT domain and an Spt5 interaction, and steering AID-induced double-strand break repair toward homologous recombination through a DNA-PKcs interaction while suppressing aberrant recombination via its Sac3-homology domain [#9, #10, #12, #14]. GANP additionally restricts HIV-1 by enhancing APOBEC3G packaging into virions [#17] and tempers STAT6 signaling through PRMT5 [#16].
