Abstract excerpt
The small GTPase Ran/Gsp1p plays an essential role in nuclear trafficking of macromolecules, as Ran/Gsp1p regulates many transport processes across the nuclear pore complex (NPC). To determine the role of nucleoporins in the generation of the nucleocytoplasmic Gsp1p concentration gradient, mutations in various nucleoporin genes were analyzed in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show that the nucleoporins...
