摘要
The small GTPase Ran has roles in multiple cellular processes, including nuclear transport, mitotic spindle assembly, the regulation of cell cycle progression and nuclear assembly. The past year has seen a remarkable unification of these different roles with respect to the effectors and mechanisms through which they function. Our emergent understanding of Ran suggests that it plays a central role in spatial and temporal organization of the vertebrate cell.
