Abstract excerpt
RanGTP mediates nuclear import and mitotic spindle assembly by dissociating import receptors from nuclear localization signal (NLS) bearing proteins. We investigated the interplay between import receptors and the transmembrane nucleoporin Pom121. We found that Pom121 interacts with importin alpha/beta and a group of nucleoporins in an NLS-dependent manner. In vivo, replacement of Pom121 with an NLS mutant version...
