Cell biology: Ran, mitosis and the cancer connection
Abstract
The small GTPase Ran has been shown to regulate HURP, a protein that interacts with several mitotic spindle assembly factors. This discovery sheds new light on the role of Ran in the fidelity of mitosis and in cancer.

HURP is a Ran-importin beta-regulated protein that stabilizes kinetochore microtubules in the vicinity of chromosomes.Curr Biol. 2006 Apr 18;16(8):731-42. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2006.02.070. Curr Biol. 2006. PMID: 16631580

HURP is part of a Ran-dependent complex involved in spindle formation.Curr Biol. 2006 Apr 18;16(8):743-54. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2006.03.056. Curr Biol. 2006. PMID: 16631581
