XPOT (gene)

In a tiny cell, so small and neat, Lives a protein called Exportin-T. Encoded by a gene, XPOT its name, It plays an important transport game. Exportin-T, oh what a sight, Belongs to the RAN-GTPase family, bright. It helps tRNA travel far and wide, From the nucleus to the cytoplasm's side. When tRNA needs to make its way, Exportin-T comes to save the day. It binds to tRNA, oh so strong, And GTP-bound RAN, all day long. Together they form a mighty team, Guiding tRNA like a flowing stream. Through the nuclear pores, they swiftly glide, To the cytoplasm, side by side. So let's give a cheer for Exportin-T, The protein that helps tRNA be free. In the cell's dance, it plays its part, Transporting tRNA with all its heart. Random page: XM35
