Abstract excerpt
Ran/TC4 is a member of the Ras superfamily of GTPases. It is unusual in being predominantly nuclear and because it possesses an acidic -DEDDDL sequence instead of a consensus prenylation domain at the C terminus. Ran is required for nuclear protein import and cell cycle progression, and has been implicated in mRNA processing and export and DNA replication. The inhibition of cell cycle progression by a dominant...
