Inner/Outer Nuclear Membrane Fusion in Nuclear Pore Assembly
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are large proteinaceous channels embedded in double nuclear membranes, which carry out nucleocytoplasmic exchange. The mechanism of nuclear pore assembly involves a unique challenge, as it requires creation of a long-lived membrane-lined channel connecting the inner and outer nuclear membranes. This stabilized membrane channel has little evolutionary precedent. Her...
متن کاملImportin beta negatively regulates nuclear membrane fusion and nuclear pore complex assembly.
Assembly of a eukaryotic nucleus involves three distinct events: membrane recruitment, fusion to form a double nuclear membrane, and nuclear pore complex (NPC) assembly. We report that importin beta negatively regulates two of these events, membrane fusion and NPC assembly. When excess importin beta is added to a full Xenopus nuclear reconstitution reaction, vesicles are recruited to chromatin ...
متن کاملAnalysis of nuclear reconstitution, nuclear envelope assembly, and nuclear pore assembly using Xenopus in vitro assays.
The large and complex eukaryotic nucleus is the arbiter of DNA replication, RNA transcription, splicing, and ribosome assembly. With the advent of in vitro nuclear reconstitution extracts derived from Xenopus eggs in the 1980s, it became possible to assemble multiple nuclei in vitro around added DNA or chromatin substrates. Such reconstituted nuclei contain a nuclear lamina, double nuclear memb...
متن کاملNeuronal fusion pore assembly requires membrane cholesterol.
Cholesterol has been proposed to play a critical role in regulating neurotransmitter release and synaptic plasticity. The neuronal porosome/fusion pore, the secretory machinery at the nerve terminal, is a 12-17 nm cup-shaped lipoprotein structure composed of cholesterol and a number of proteins, among them calcium channels, and the t-SNARE proteins Syntaxin-1 and SNAP-25. During neurotransmissi...
متن کاملNuclear Envelope: Membrane Bending for Pore Formation?
Membrane-shaping proteins known as reticulons help to sculpt the endoplasmic reticulum; recent findings indicate that they also play a role in the formation of nuclear-pore-complex-associated pores in the nuclear envelope.
