Multifunctional roles of Brl1-Brr6 in nuclear envelope fusion during nuclear pore complex biogenesis [PDF]
The EMBO JournalBrl1 and Brr6 are integral membrane proteins of the yeast nuclear envelope (NE) that transiently associate with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). The exact roles of Brl1 and Brr6 during NPC assembly are unclear.

The nuclear envelope and nuclear pore complexes in neurodegenerative diseases [PDF]
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyThe nuclear envelope (NE) and nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) play a critical role in maintaining the balance between the nucleus and cytoplasm, which is essential for the structural integrity and gene regulatory functions of eukaryotic cells.

Nuclear warfare: pathogen manipulation of the nuclear pore complex and nuclear functions [PDF]
mBioViruses and bacteria exploit the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and host nuclear functions to bypass cellular barriers and manipulate essential processes. Viruses frequently engage directly with NPC components, such as nucleoporins, to enable genome import ...

Aβ-driven nuclear pore complex dysfunction alters activation of necroptosis proteins in a mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
eLifeThe emergence of Aβ pathology is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the mechanisms and impact of Aβ in progression of the disease is unclear.

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2021 Nuclear pore complex injury has recently emerged as an early and significant contributor to familial and sporadic ALS disease pathogenesis. However, the molecular events leading to this pathological phenomenon characterized by the reduction of specific ...

Current Biology, 2003 What are they? Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are often referred to as the ‘gatekeepers of the nucleus’, being responsible for regulating the molecular traffic – from ions to ribosomes – between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm. A typical vertebrate nucleus has about 5,000 NPCs scattered over its surface.What do they look like? A picture is worth twice

Actin assembly ruptures the nuclear envelope by prying the lamina away from nuclear pores and nuclear membranes in starfish oocytes. [PDF]
, 2020 The nucleus of oocytes (germinal vesicle) is unusually large and its nuclear envelope (NE) is densely packed with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) stockpiled for embryonic development. We showed that breakdown of this specialized NE is mediated by an Arp2/3-

A short perinuclear amphipathic α-helix in Apq12 promotes nuclear pore complex biogenesis
Open Biology, 2021 The integral membrane protein Apq12 is an important nuclear envelope (NE)/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) modulator that cooperates with the nuclear pore complex (NPC) biogenesis factors Brl1 and Brr6. How Apq12 executes these functions is unknown.

Higher nucleoporin-Importinβ affinity at the nuclear basket increases nucleocytoplasmic import. [PDF]
, 2013 Several in vitro studies have shown the presence of an affinity gradient in nuclear pore complex proteins for the import receptor Importinβ, at least partially contributing to nucleocytoplasmic transport, while others have historically argued against the
