The Nuclear Pore Complex and Nuclear Transport [PDF]
Internal membrane bound structures sequester all genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The most prominent of these structures is the nucleus, which is bounded by a double membrane termed the nuclear envelope (NE). Though this NE separates the nucleoplasm and genetic material within the nucleus from the surrounding cytoplasm, it is studded throughout ...

Herpes simplex virus ICP27 protein directly interacts with the nuclear pore complex through NUP62, inhibiting host nucleocytoplasmic transport pathways [PDF]
The herpes simplex virus ICP27 protein is important for the expression and nuclear export of viral mRNAs. Although several binding sites have been mapped along the ICP27 sequence for various RNA and protein partners including the transport receptor TAP ...

Construction of nuclear envelope shape by a high-genus vesicle with pore-size constraint [PDF]
Nuclear pores have an approximately uniform distribution in the nuclear envelope of most living cells. Hence, the morphology of the nuclear envelope is a spherical stomatocyte with a high genus. We have investigated the morphology of high-genus vesicles under pore-size constraint using dynamically triangulated membrane simulations.

Torsin ATPase deficiency leads to defects in nuclear pore biogenesis and sequestration of MLF2
Rampello et al. demonstrate that Torsin ATPases play a critical role in nuclear pore assembly and thus present mechanistic insight into DYT1 dystonia etiology.

The cAMP sensors, EPAC1 and EPAC2, display distinct subcellular distributions despite sharing a common nuclear pore localisation signal [PDF]
We have identified a conserved nuclear pore localisation signal (NPLS; amino acids 764–838 of EPAC1) in the catalytic domains of the cAMP-sensors, EPAC1 and EPAC2A.

Baculovirus Nuclear Import: Open, Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC) Sesame
Baculoviruses are one of the largest viruses that replicate in the nucleus of their host cells. During infection, the rod-shape, 250-nm long nucleocapsid delivers its genome into the nucleus.

Nuclear magnetic resonance cryoporometry [PDF]
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) cryoporometry is a technique for non-destructively determining pore size distributions in porous media through the observation of the depressed melting point of a confined liquid.

In adult mammals, many heart muscle cells (cardiomyocytes) are polyploid, do not proliferate (post-mitotic), and, consequently, cannot contribute to heart regeneration.

Permeability of Single Nuclear Pores [PDF]
In this first application of optical single transporter recording (OSTR), a recently established technique for optically monitoring the activity of single transporters in membrane patches (Tschödrich-Rotter and Peters. 1998. J. Microsc. 192:114-125), the passive permeability of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) was measured for a homologous series of ...

Exo70-Mediated Recruitment of Nucleoporin Nup62 at the Leading Edge of Migrating Cells is Required for Cell Migration [PDF]
Nucleoporin Nup62 localizes at the central channel of the nuclear pore complex and is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport. Through its FG-repeat domain, Nup62 regulates nuclear pore permeability and binds nuclear transport receptors.
