Microtubule assembly by the Apc protein is regulated by importin-β—RanGTP [PDF]
Mutations in the tumour suppressor Adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) initiate most sporadic colorectal cancers. Apc is implicated in regulating microtubule (MT) dynamics in interphase and mitosis. However, little is known about the underlying mechanism or regulation of this Apc function.

The Inner Nuclear Membrane Protein Nemp1 Is a New Type of RanGTP-Binding Protein in Eukaryotes. [PDF]
The inner nuclear membrane (INM) protein Nemp1/TMEM194A has previously been suggested to be involved in eye development in Xenopus, and contains two evolutionarily conserved sequences in the transmembrane domains (TMs) and the C-terminal region, named ...

Identification of Two Novel RanGTP-binding Proteins Belonging to the Importin β Superfamily [PDF]
Nucleo-cytoplasmic transport comprises a large number of distinct pathways, many of which are defined by members of the importin beta superfamily of nuclear transport receptors. These transport receptors all directly interact with RanGTP to modulate the compartment-specific binding of their transport substrates.

Karyopherin binding interactions and nuclear import mechanism of nuclear pore complex protein Tpr [PDF]
Background Tpr is a large protein with an extended coiled-coil domain that is localized within the nuclear basket of the nuclear pore complex. Previous studies 1 involving antibody microinjection into mammalian cells suggested a role for Tpr in nuclear ...

A thermodynamic paradigm for solution demixing inspired by nuclear transport in living cells
Living cells display a remarkable capacity to compartmentalize their functional biochemistry. A particularly fascinating example is the cell nucleus. Exchange of macromolecules between the nucleus and the surrounding cytoplasm does not involve traversing

The karyopherin (Kap) family of nuclear transport factors facilitates macromolecular transport through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). The binding of Kaps to their cargos can also regulate, both temporally and spatially, the interactions of the cargo ...

Disassembly of RanGTP-Karyopherin β Complex, an Intermediate in Nuclear Protein Import [PDF]
We previously showed that RanGTP forms a 1:1 complex with karyopherin beta that renders RanGTP inaccessible to RanGAP (Floer, M., and Blobel, G. (1996) J. Biol. Chem. 271, 5313-5316) and karyopherin beta functionally inactive (Rexach, M., and Blobel, G. (1995) Cell 83, 683-692).

DnaJB6 is a RanGTP-regulated protein required for microtubule organization during mitosis [PDF]
ABSTRACT Bipolar spindle organization is essential for the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. This organization relies on the collective activities of motor proteins. The minus-end-directed dynein motor complex generates spindle inward forces and plays a major role in spindle pole focusing.
