The Nuclear Pore Complex: Birth, Life, and Death of a Cellular Behemoth
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the only transport channels that cross the nuclear envelope. Constructed from ~500–1000 nucleoporin proteins each, they are among the largest macromolecular assemblies in eukaryotic cells.

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.

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.

The Human NUP58 Nucleoporin Can Form Amyloids In Vitro and In Vivo
Amyloids are fibrillar protein aggregates with a cross-β structure and unusual features, including high resistance to detergent or protease treatment.

Transcriptional regulation is a complex process that requires the integrated action of many multi-protein complexes. The way in which a living cell coordinates the action of these complexes in time and space is still poorly understood. Recent work has shown that nuclear pores, well known for their role in 3' processing and export of transcripts, also ...

Viruses Challenge Selectivity Barrier of Nuclear Pores
Exchange between the nucleus and the cytoplasm occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in the double membrane of the nuclear envelope. NPC permeability barrier restricts the entry of inert molecules larger than 5 nm in diameter but allows ...

Nuclear distributions of NUP62 and NUP214 suggest architectural diversity and spatial patterning among nuclear pore complexes. [PDF]
The shape of nuclei in many adherent cultured cells approximates an oblate ellipsoid, with contralateral flattened surfaces facing the culture plate or the medium.

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the sole gateway for molecular transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotes. The NPC is composed of approximately 30 different kinds of protein components called nucleoporins. The functional structure of
