Mapping out the nuclear pore complex
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. By the late 1990s, components of the NPC, known as nucleoporins, were being discovered at a steady rate, but researchers believed that many more might remain to be identifi ed. After all, a ribosome consists of 75 proteins, and an NPC, with a molecular weight of 50 MDa, is more than ten times as large. Still le...
متن کاملThe nuclear pore complex
M OLECULAR trafficking between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of interphase eukaryotic cells occurs via the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), 1 organelles with a roughly cylindrical shape (~,120 um in diameter and ~70-um high) that are embedded in the double-membraned nuclear envelope (NE). The NPC allows passive diffusion of ions and small molecules through an aqueous channel with a physical diame...
متن کاملThe nuclear pore complex.
Over the past years, significant progress has been made both in the analysis of the structural and molecular organization of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) and the mechanism of nuclear transport. In this minireview, I will focus on some of the recent developments in this field. Structural studies employing high resolution EM have revealed a detailed view of the three-dimensional organization of...
متن کاملThe nuclear pore complex and nuclear transport.
Internal membrane bound structures sequester all genetic material in eukaryotic cells. The most prominent of these structures is the nucleus, which is bounded by a double membrane termed the nuclear envelope (NE). Though this NE separates the nucleoplasm and genetic material within the nucleus from the surrounding cytoplasm, it is studded throughout with portals called nuclear pore complexes (N...
متن کاملThe Yeast Nuclear Pore Complex
An understanding of how the nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates nucleocytoplasmic exchange requires a comprehensive inventory of the molecular components of the NPC and a knowledge of how each component contributes to the overall structure of this large molecular translocation machine. Therefore, we have taken a comprehensive approach to classify all components of the yeast NPC (nucleoporins). ...
