Comprehensive structure and functional adaptations of the yeast nuclear pore complex

Christopher W. Akey et al.

Summary: This study provides a structure of the isolated yeast NPC and reveals how flexible connectors tie together different structural and functional layers. It also suggests an evolutionary and mechanistic link between assembly and transport. Additionally, the study identifies three major NPC variants that may signify functional specializations at the nuclear periphery.

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 designer FG-Nup that reconstitutes the selective transport barrier of the nuclear pore complex

Alessio Fragasso et al.

Summary: This study successfully reconstituted the selective behavior of the NPC by introducing an artificial FG-Nup that mimics natural Nups, demonstrating that specific spacer sequences or spatial segregation of different FG-motif types are not needed to create selective NPCs.

Free energy calculations shed light on the nuclear pore complex's selective barrier nature

Atsushi Matsuda et al.

Summary: The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is the exclusive gateway for traffic control across the nuclear envelope, with its selective barrier nature possibly associated with FG-Nups. Studies have shown that inserting cargo into the NPC significantly increases free energy, which may be the basis of NPC selectivity.
