Other claims from this paper (13)
- Observation Virus-induced silencing of NbRae1 resulted in growth arrest and abnormal leaf development.
- Observation NbRae1 was mainly associated with the nuclear envelope during interphase.
- Intervention effect NbRae1 deficiency caused accumulation of poly(A) RNA in the nuclei of leaf cells, suggesting defective mRNA export.
- Intervention effect In the shoot apex, depletion of NbRae1 reduced mitotic activities.
- Intervention effect NbRae1 depletion in the shoot apex reduced cyclin-dependent kinase activity.
- Intervention effect NbRae1 depletion in the shoot apex decreased expression of cyclin B1 and CDKB1-1.
- Intervention effect NbRae1 depletion in the shoot apex decreased expression of histones H3 and H4.
- Intervention effect Differentiated leaf cells of NbRae1-silenced plants exhibited elevated ploidy levels.
- Observation NbRae1 protein localized to mitotic microtubules and the cell plate-forming zone during mitosis.
- Observation Recombinant NbRae1 directly bound to microtubules in vitro.
- Observation Inhibition of NbRae1 expression in BY-2 cells with an inducible RNAi system caused severe defects in spindle organization and chromosome alignment and segregation.
- Observation Inhibition of NbRae1 expression correlated with delays in cell cycle progression.
- Mechanism NbRae1 plays a dual role in mRNA export in interphase and in spindle assembly in mitosis.
