This lecture covers the process of nuclear transport, focusing on the role of small GTPases as cellular switches. It explains how proteins with nuclear localization signals are delivered to the nucleus through the Ran-GTPase cycle. The instructor discusses the conformational changes of GTP-bound and GDP-bound states in small GTPases, emphasizing their role as key regulators in cellular signaling pathways.
