title: Cyclin-like oscillations in levels of the nucleoporin Nup96 control G1/S progression.
abstract: In this issue of Developmental Cell, Chakraborty et al. report that efficient advancement through G1/S phase requires the downregulation of Nup96 levels during M phase. The authors show that oscillations in Nup96 levels plays a key role in maintaining normal cell proliferation, likely by regulating the export of specific mRNAs, including those of key cell cycle regulators.
