Abstract excerpt
The small GTPase Ran is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport of macromolecules. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Rna1p functions as a Ran-GTPase activating protein (RanGAP1). Strains carrying the rna1-1 mutation exhibit defects in nuclear transport and, as a consequence, accumulate precursor tRNAs. We have isolated two recessive suppressors of the rna1-1 mutation. Further characterization of one of the...
