Spatial and temporal coordination of mitosis by Ran GTPase

PR Clarke, C Zhang - Nature reviews Molecular cell biology, 2008 - nature.com
Abstract The small nuclear GTPase Ran controls the directionality of macromolecular
transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Ran also has important roles during …

Structure, dynamics and function of nuclear pore complexes

MA D'Angelo, MW Hetzer - Trends in cell biology, 2008 - cell.com
Nuclear pore complexes are large aqueous channels that penetrate the nuclear envelope,
thereby connecting the nuclear interior with the cytoplasm. Until recently, these …

A mechanism for asymmetric segregation of age during yeast budding

Z Shcheprova, S Baldi, SB Frei, G Gonnet, Y Barral - Nature, 2008 - nature.com
Ageing and the mortality that ensues are sustainable for the species only if age is reset in
newborns. In budding yeast, buds are made young whereas ageing factors, such as …

Systematic kinetic analysis of mitotic dis-and reassembly of the nuclear pore in living cells

Reorganization of the nuclear envelope during open mitosis

U Kutay, MW Hetzer - Current opinion in cell biology, 2008 - Elsevier
The nuclear envelope (NE) provides a selective barrier between the nuclear interior and the
cytoplasm and constitutes a central component of intracellular architecture. During mitosis in …
