Nuclear warfare: pathogen manipulation of the nuclear pore complex and nuclear functions [PDF]
Viruses 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 ...

An amphipathic helix in Brl1 is required for nuclear pore complex biogenesis in S. cerevisiae
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the central portal for macromolecular exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm. In all eukaryotes, NPCs assemble into an intact nuclear envelope (NE) during interphase, but the process of NPC biogenesis remains poorly ...

Uip4p modulates nuclear pore complex function in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
A double membrane bilayer perforated by nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) governs the shape of the nucleus, the prominent distinguishing organelle of a eukaryotic cell.

Nuclear pore complex dysfunction drives TDP-43 pathology in ALS [PDF]
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive motor neuron degeneration and pathological aggregation of TDP-43. While protein misfolding and impaired autophagy are established features, accumulating

Caspase-mediated nuclear pore complex trimming in cell differentiation and endoplasmic reticulum stress [PDF]
During apoptosis, caspases degrade 8 out of ~30 nucleoporins to irreversibly demolish the nuclear pore complex. However, for poorly understood reasons, caspases are also activated during cell differentiation.

RNA export through the nuclear pore complex is directional [PDF]
There is little information on export directionality of RNA passing through the nuclear pore complex in human cells. Here, the authors examine single RNA molecules in transit, to demonstrate 5’-first directionality for the export of mRNA and lncRNA.

Nuclear pore complex proteins are involved in centromere distribution [PDF]
Summary: The subnuclear distribution of centromeres is cooperatively regulated by condensin II and the linker of nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton (LINC) complex.
