| Abstract | The Ran GTPase plays critical roles in both providing energy for and determining the directionality of nucleocytoplasmic transport. The mechanism that couples the RanGTP gradient to nuclear protein export will determine the rate of and limits to accumulation of export cargoes in the cytoplasm, but is presently unknown. We reasoned that plausible coupling mechanisms could be distinguished by comparing the rates of reverse motion of export cargoes through the nuclear pore complex (NPC) with the predictions of a mathematical model. Measurement of reverse export rates in Xenopus oocytes revealed that nuclear export signals can facilitate RanGTP-dependent cargo movement into the nucleus against the RanGTP gradient at rates comparable to export rates. Although export cargoes with high affinity for their receptor are exported faster than those with low affinity, their reverse transport is also greater. The ratio of the rates of reverse and forward export of a cargo is proportional to its rate of diffusion through the NPC, i.e., to the ability of the cargo to penetrate the NPC permeability barrier. The data substantiate a diffusional mechanism of coupling and suggest the existence of a high concentration of RanGTP-receptor complexes within the NPC that decreases sharply at the cytoplasmic boundary of the NPC permeability barrier. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
