Because CYP7A1 is a critical protein in cholesterol export and its expression was dramatically reduced by diet and genotype, we assessed a potential mechanism for the altered expression.
By using the node degree to prioritize the critical nodes, we found that the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the three host proteins, Akt, PKC, and the Ran/GTPase complex (which plays a critical role in the export of proteins from the nucleus to the cytoplasm), are both critical and highly connected within the network.
We present results for a representative subset of species in here, and full results are presented in Table S2 (Additional File 1) Ran is a small, soluble GTPase present in both the nucleus and cytoplasm of all eukaryotic cells that plays a critical role in RNA export.
