A-type lamins involvement in transport and implications in cancer?
Nucleus, 2022 Nuclear lamins and transport are intrinsically linked, but their relationship is yet to be fully unraveled. A multitude of complex, coupled interactions between lamins and nucleoporins (Nups), which mediate active transport into and out of the nucleus ...

The Nuclear Life of Nucleoporins [PDF]
Developmental Cell, 2007 Nucleoporins are the constituents of the nuclear pore complex, but they are also known to shuttle to the nuclear interior, the function of which is unclear. In a recent issue of Nature Cell Biology, Wang et al.'s mechanistic studies of leukemogenic fusion proteins that contain nucleoporins suggest that they have a direct role in transcription.

Nucleocytoplasmic Trafficking Perturbation Induced by Picornaviruses
Viruses, 2021 Picornaviruses are positive-stranded RNA viruses. Even though replication and translation of their genome take place in the cytoplasm, these viruses evolved different strategies to disturb nucleocytoplasmic trafficking of host proteins and RNA. The major

Nucleoporins in cardiovascular disease
Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, 2020 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.

Nucleoporin genes in human diseases [PDF]
European Journal of Human Genetics, 2016 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.

Actin assembly ruptures the nuclear envelope by prying the lamina away from nuclear pores and nuclear membranes in starfish oocytes. [PDF]
, 2020 The nucleus of oocytes (germinal vesicle) is unusually large and its nuclear envelope (NE) is densely packed with nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) stockpiled for embryonic development. We showed that breakdown of this specialized NE is mediated by an Arp2/3-

Cells, 2022 Dictyostelium cells undergo a semi-closed mitosis, during which the nuclear envelope (NE) persists; however, free diffusion between the cytoplasm and the nucleus takes place.

Exo70-Mediated Recruitment of Nucleoporin Nup62 at the Leading Edge of Migrating Cells is Required for Cell Migration [PDF]
, 2009 Nucleoporin Nup62 localizes at the central channel of the nuclear pore complex and is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport. Through its FG-repeat domain, Nup62 regulates nuclear pore permeability and binds nuclear transport receptors.

Non-classical functions of nuclear pore proteins in ciliopathy
Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2023 Nucleoporins (NUPs) constitute integral nuclear pore protein (NPC) elements. Although traditional NUP functions have been extensively researched, evidence of additional vital non-NPC roles, referred to herein as non-classical NUP functions, is also ...
