Abstract excerpt
All major nuclear export pathways so far examined follow a general paradigm. Specifically, a complex is formed in the nucleus, containing the export cargo, a member of the importin-beta family of transporters and RanGTP. This complex is translocated across the nuclear pore to the cytoplasm, where hydrolysis of the GTP on Ran is stimulated by the GTPase-activating protein RanGAP. The activity of RanGAP is...
