Regulation of autophagy by nucleoporin Tpr [PDF]
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) consists of a conserved set of ~30 different proteins, termed nucleoporins, and serves as a gateway for the exchange of materials between the cytoplasm and nucleus. Tpr (translocated promoter region) is a component of NPC that presumably localizes at intranuclear filaments. Here, we show that Tpr knockdown caused a severe

Nucleoporins in cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is a pressing health problem with significant global health, societal, and financial burdens. Understanding the molecular basis of polygenic cardiac pathology is thus essential to devising novel approaches for management and treatment.

A mosaic of old and young nucleoporins [PDF]
Some nucleoporins, the nuclear pore complex (NPC) components, have exceptionally long lifetimes. In this issue, Toyama et al. (2019. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201809123) report that NPCs are maintained by a slow piecemeal replacement of NPC components in dividing and terminally differentiated cells and by whole-pore exchange in ...

Shaping the p53 Response with Nucleoporins [PDF]
In this issue, Singer et al. (2012) reveal that the nucleoporin Nup98 supports adaptation to genotoxic stress by protecting specific p53-induced mRNAs from exosome-dependent degradation, suggesting that wild-type Nup98 may possess tumor suppressor function.

Nucleoporin genes in human diseases [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large channels spanning the nuclear envelope that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport. They are composed of multiple copies of ~30 proteins termed nucleoporins (NUPs). Alterations in NUP genes are linked to several human neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases.

Nucleoporin TPR Affects C2C12 Myogenic Differentiation via Regulation of Myh4 Expression
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has emerged as a hub for the transcriptional regulation of a subset of genes, and this type of regulation plays an important role during differentiation.
