Abstract
Hamster rcc1 mutant, tsBN2, prematurely enter mitosis during S phase. RCC1 is a guanine nucleotide exchanging factor for a small G protein Ran and localised on the chromatin, whereas RanGTPase activating protein is in the cytoplasm. Consistently, Ran shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm, carrying out nucleus-cytosol exchange of macromolecules, which regulates the cell cycle. The finding that loss of RCC1 which disturbs nuclear protein export due to loss of RanGTP, abrogates the check point control suggests that RCC1 senses the status of the chromatin, such as replication, and couples it to the cell cycle progression through Ran.
