Bibliography 115During each cell division a cell needs to distribute the genetic material equally to two daughter cells. To segregate chromosomes the cell uses a macromolecular machine, the mitotic bipolar spindle. A bipolar spindle forms also in vitro, when chromosomes are added to Xenopus M-phase egg extract. The small GTPase Ran has been demonstrated to be necessary for chromatin induced microtubule (MT) assembly and sufficient to induce microtubule nucleation (Carazo-Salas et al., 2001; Wilde et al., 2001). The mechanistic details of Ran's function in microtubule assembly however ...
