Cargo transport through the nuclear pore complex at a glance

Giulia Paci et al.

Summary: This article provides an overview of the bidirectional transport of macromolecules across the nuclear envelope, focusing on the role of the nuclear pore complex in regulating nucleocytoplasmic transport. It also discusses how different cargo properties, such as size and number of bound nuclear transport receptors, can affect nuclear transport.

The nucleoporin Nup50 activates the Ran guanine nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 to promote NPC assembly at the end of mitosis

Guillaume Holzer et al.

Summary: Nup50 plays a crucial role in NPC assembly independent of its nuclear transport function. It interacts with Nup153 and MEL28/ELYS through a conserved central region, and its N-terminal fragment stimulates the Ran GTPase guanine nucleotide exchange factor RCC1 to facilitate NPC assembly at the end of mitosis.

Reticulon-like REEP4 at the inner nuclear membrane promotes nuclear pore complex formation

Banafsheh Golchoubian et al.

Summary: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are channels within the nuclear envelope that mediate nucleocytoplasmic transport, forming through a coordination of protein complex assembly and membrane deformation. REEP4 plays an important role in NPC formation during mitosis, being recruited by the NPC biogenesis factor ELYS. Their cooperation may provide high-curvature ER membrane to the nascent NPC.

The cellular environment shapes the nuclear pore complex architecture

Anthony P. Schuller et al.

Summary: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form large conduits for cargo transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm, composed of various nucleoporins distributed in inner, cytoplasmic, and nucleoplasmic rings. Cryo-electron tomography on DLD-1 cells revealed structural differences in the human NPC compared to previous models, showing wider inner ring, increased central channel volume, and reorganized rings. The study highlights the flexibility of NPC and its dependence on the cellular environment for maintaining structural integrity.

Nuclear pores dilate and constrict in cellulo

Christian E. Zimmerli et al.

Summary: Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in eukaryotic cells play a crucial role in mediating nucleocytoplasmic exchange. Recent research using cryo-electron tomography and integrative structural modeling reveals that the conformation of NPCs is highly dynamic and can change in response to cellular energy levels and osmotic stress. The data suggests a model where nuclear envelope membrane tension is linked to NPC conformation.

A short perinuclear amphipathic α-helix in Apq12 promotes nuclear pore complex biogenesis

Wanlu Zhang et al.

Summary: The short amphipathic alpha-helix of Apq12 regulates the function of Brl1 and Brr6, leading to defects in NPC biogenesis and NE integrity when disrupted. Overexpression of Apq12 promotes over-proliferation of the ONM/ER and accumulation of phosphatidic acid at the NE, possibly during NPC biogenesis.

Evolution and diversification of the nuclear pore complex

Alexandr A. Makarov et al.

Summary: The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a highly complex structure responsible for material transport between the cytoplasm and nucleoplasm in eukaryotic cells. Despite its complexity, there is considerable variation in NPC structure between different lineages. Recent advances in genomic and structural characterisation have revealed diversity in NPC across major taxa, shedding light on its evolution and adaptation in the context of mRNA export.

Inherited nuclear pore substructures template post-mitotic pore assembly

Yi-Ying Chou et al.

Summary: The assembly of the nuclear envelope during late mitosis involves the rapid formation of complete nuclear pore complexes from octameric subassemblies that remain intact in the endoplasmic reticulum during prophase. These stable subassemblies persist through multiple rounds of cell division and play a crucial role in nucleocytoplasmic communication. A yet-to-be-identified modification is hypothesized to mark and 'immortalize' specific components of the octameric outer and inner ring subcomplexes, facilitating post-mitotic NPC assembly during subsequent cell cycles.
