Ran stimulates spindle assembly by altering microtubule dynamics and the balance of motor activities.

Abstract:

:The guanosine tri-phosphatase Ran stimulates assembly of microtubule spindles. However, it is not known what aspects of the microtubule cytoskeleton are subject to regulation by Ran in mitosis. Here we show that Ran-GTP stimulates microtubule assembly by increasing the rescue frequency of microtubules three- to eightfold. In addition to changing microtubule dynamics, Ran-GTP also alters the balance of motor activities, partly as a result of an increase in the amount of motile Eg5, a plus-end-directed microtubule motor that is essential for spindle formation. Thus, Ran regulates multiple processes that are involved in spindle assembly.

  • Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation.

    abstract::Although normally dormant, hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs) quickly become activated to divide during a new hair cycle.
