Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of RAE1, a conserved WD40 protein, in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and mouse revealed a role in mRNA export and cell cycle progression in mitotic cells. Studies of RAE1 in Drosophila showed that the protein localizes to the nuclear envelope and is required for progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle but not RNA export in tissue culture cells. Drosophila RAE1 also plays an essential...
