Ran GTPase Cycle: OOne Mechanism -- Two Functions
Overview
Authors
Affiliations
The Ras-related GTPase Ran functions in nucleocytoplasmic transport by regulating interactions of transport receptors with transport cargo. Three recent studies suggest that Ran uses exactly the same mechanism to regulate spindle assembly during mitosis.
