Cargo molecules are transported through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Small molecules can pass by diffusion, but there is a permeability barrier for larger molecules, with a relative molecular ...

A known membrane-remodeling complex earns a newly identified role as a quality-assurance director during the assembly of nuclear pores. Kerry served as The Scientist’s news director until 2021. Before ...

reliable general purpose monoclonal antibody which recognizes a related family of NPC proteins; believed to recognize the repeated FXFG repeat sequence in nuceloporins including p62, p152 and p90 and ...

In a study in Nature last week (March 15), researchers report that they have created a 3-D model of the nuclear pore complex in Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells. The architecture of the gateway, ...

Study finds that protein creation and disposal systems control the amount of nuclear pore complexes in cells, which may lead to new insights about cancer and neurodegeneration. The nuclei in our cells ...

The large type of pore-like structure has inner and outer concentric rings around a central plug, resembling the detailed organization of a eukaryote nuclear pore. All figures and photographic ...
