Temporal and spatial control of nucleophosmin by the Ran|[ndash]|Crm1 complex in centrosome duplication

Wei Wang , Anuradha Budhu , Marshonna Forgues & Xin Wei Wang

Centrosome duplication is tightly controlled during faithful cell division, and unnecessary reduplication can lead to supernumerary centrosomes and multipolar spindles that are associated with most human cancer cells. In addition to nucleocytoplasmic transport, the Ran–Crm1 network is involved in regulating centrosome duplication to ensure the formation of a bipolar spindle.
