Molecular architecture of the Nup84–Nup145C–Sec13 edge element in the nuclear pore complex lattice [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) facilitate all nucleocytoplasmic transport. These massive protein assemblies are modular, with a stable structural scaffold supporting more dynamically attached components.

The Multiple Faces of Disordered Nucleoporins
An evolutionary advantage of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) is their ability to bind a variety of folded proteins-a paradigm that is central to the nucleocytoplasmic transport mechanism, in which nuclear transport receptors mediate the translocation of various cargo through the nuclear pore complex by binding disordered phenylalanine-glycine ...

The nuclear pore complex components, nucleoporins, have been proposed to mediate spatial and temporal organization of chromatin. Here, the authors show that Nucleoporin 153 interacts with CTCF and cohesin, and mediates their binding across cis-regulatory

A role for Gle1, a regulator of DEAD-box RNA helicases, at centrosomes and basal bodies. [PDF]
Control of organellar assembly and function is critical to eukaryotic homeostasis and survival. Gle1 is a highly conserved regulator of RNA-dependent DEAD-box ATPase proteins, with critical roles in both mRNA export and translation.

D2P2: database of disordered protein predictions [PDF]
We present the Database of Disordered Protein Prediction (D2P2), available at http://d2p2.pro (including website source code). A battery of disorder predictors and their variants, VL-XT, VSL2b, PrDOS, PV2, Espritz and IUPred, were run on all protein ...

Nucleoporins and Transcription: New Connections, New Questions
It seems to make perfect sense that RNA, which must be exported from the nucleus to be translated, would be produced near or in association with nuclear pores. Indeed, recent reports proposed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae genes located close to the nuclear pore complex (NPC) tend to be highly transcribed [1],[2] and that, upon activation, some genes ...

Genomic imprinting restricts transcription to predominantly one parental allele. Here the authors perform a screen for epigenetic factors involved in paternal allelic silencing at the Kcnq1ot1 imprinted domain in mouse extraembryonic endoderm stem cells ...

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

Mitotic Phosphorylation of Nucleoporins: Dismantling NPCs and Beyond [PDF]
Recently reporting in Cell, Laurell et al. (2011) demonstrate that the hyperphosphorylation of vertebrate Nup98 by distinct mitotic kinases contributes to its release from nuclear pores, drives nuclear envelope permeabilization, and may provide a molecular switch coordinating nuclear envelope breakdown and spindle formation.

From the trap to the basket: getting to the bottom of the nuclear pore complex [PDF]
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large supramolecular assemblies that perforate the double-membraned nuclear envelope and serve as the sole gateways of molecular exchange between the cytoplasm and the nucleus in interphase cells.
