Abstract excerpt
Nuclear formation in Xenopus egg extracts requires cytosol and is inhibited by GTP gamma S, indicating a requirement for GTPase activity. Nuclear envelope (NE) vesicle fusion is extensively inhibited by GTP gamma S and two mutant forms of the Ran GTPase, Q69L and T24N. Depletion of either Ran or RCC1, the exchange factor for Ran, from the assembly reaction also inhibits this step of NE formation. Ran depletion...
