The Structure Inventory of the Nuclear Pore Complex [PDF]
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the principal gateway for molecular exchange between nucleus and cytoplasm across the nuclear envelope. Due to its sheer size of estimated 50-112 MDa and its complex buildup from about 500-1000 individual proteins, it is

The NAE Pathway : autobahn to the nucleus for cell surface receptors [PDF]
Various growth factors and full-length cell surface receptors such as EGFR are translocated from the cell surface to the nucleoplasm, baffling cell biologists to the mechanisms and functions of this process. Elevated levels of nuclear EGFR correlate with

Nuclear Pore Complex StructureUnplugged and Dynamic Pores [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large protein assemblies embedded in the nuclear envelope that act as passageways for transport of molecules into and out of the nucleus. Two new studies, one in Nature Cell Biology and one in Science , offer direct evidence that the NPC is a highly dynamic structure.

The effect of cell morphology on the permeability of the nuclear envelope to diffusive factors [PDF]
A recent advance in understanding stem cell differentiation is that the cell is able to translate its morphology, i.e., roundish or spread, into a fate decision.

Karyopherins regulate nuclear pore complex barrier and transport function [PDF]
Nucleocytoplasmic transport is sustained by karyopherins (Kaps) and a Ran guanosine triphosphate (RanGTP) gradient that imports nuclear localization signal (NLS)–specific cargoes (NLS-cargoes) into the nucleus.

Diffusion of Macromolecules across the Nuclear Pore Complex
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are very selective filters that monitor the transport between the cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm. Two models have been suggested for the plug of the NPC. They are (i) it is a reversible hydrogel or (ii) it is a polymer brush.

Active Nuclear Import of Membrane Proteins Revisited
It is poorly understood how membrane proteins destined for the inner nuclear membrane pass the crowded environment of the Nuclear Pore Complex (NPC). For the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteins Src1/Heh1 and Heh2, a transport mechanism was proposed where ...

Hundreds of genes interact with the yeast nuclear pore complex (NPC), localizing at the nuclear periphery and clustering with co-regulated genes. Dynamic tracking of peripheral genes shows that they cycle on and off the NPC and that interaction with the ...

Modeling of the mechano-chemical behavior of the nuclear pore complex: current research and perspectives [PDF]
Recent evidence suggests that mechanical deformation of the cell nucleus regulates the nuclear import of the transcriptional activators of genes involved in primary physiological cell responses such as stem cell differentiation. In addition, this nuclear

Nuclear Envelope Regulation of Oncogenic Processes: Roles in Pancreatic Cancer
Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive and intractable malignancy with high mortality. This is due in part to a high resistance to chemotherapeutics and radiation treatment conferred by diverse regulatory mechanisms.
