RanGTP has a central role in spindle assembly, but the Ran-regulated factors required to initiate spindle bipolarity and stabilize MT growth toward the chromosomes remain unknown. However, three recent papers (Koffa et al., 2006; Sillje et al., 2006; Wong and Fang, 2006) have identified a single factor, HURP, that may encompass both of these properties.
Abbreviations used in this paper: HURP, hepatoma up-regulated protein; MT, microtubule.
