Multifunctional roles of Brl1-Brr6 in nuclear envelope fusion during nuclear pore complex biogenesis [PDF]
Brl1 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.

Exon junction complex and nuclear pore complex components preferentially govern the nuclear export of spliced lncRNAs [PDF]
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are crucial regulators of gene expression, but how spliced lncRNAs destined for the cytoplasm are exported from the nucleus remains unclear.

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 ...

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

A short perinuclear amphipathic α-helix in Apq12 promotes nuclear pore complex biogenesis
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.

Characterization of nuclear pore complex targeting domains in Pom152 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Pom152 is a transmembrane protein within the nuclear pore complex (NPC) of fungi that is important for NPC assembly and structure. Pom152 is comprised of a short amino-terminal region that remains on the cytosolic side of the nuclear envelope (NE) and ...

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 ...
