Nuclear Pores Set the Speed Limit for Mitosis
The spindle assembly checkpoint prevents separation of sister chromatids until each kinetochore is attached to the mitotic spindle. Rodriguez-Bravo et al. report that the nuclear pore complex scaffolds spindle assembly checkpoint signaling in interphase, providing a store of inhibitory signals that limits the speed of the subsequent mitosis.
متن کاملNuclear pores and nuclear assembly.
Communication between the nucleus and cytoplasm occurs through large macromolecular structures, the nuclear pores. Quantitative scanning transmission electron microscopy has estimated the mass of a nuclear pore to be 60 million Daltons in yeast and 120 million Daltons in vertebrates. The past two years were noteworthy in that they saw: 1) the purification of both the yeast and vertebrate nuclea...
متن کاملOctagonal Nuclear Pores
Negative staining of isolated nuclear envelopes by phosphotungstate shows that the nuclear pores are octagonal rather than circular. Pores of the same shape and approximately the same width, 663 +/- 5 A, were demonstrated in the newt, Triturus, the frog, Rana, and the starfish, Henricia. The outer and inner diameters of the annulus associated with each pore are respectively greater and less tha...
متن کاملPores for thought: nuclear pore complex proteins.
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are enormous macromolecular structures that mediate the active exchange of proteins and RNPs between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Recent work has resulted in a windfall of identified NPC polypeptides, many with unique sequences. Several of the proteins have been shown to be part of extended cytoplasmic and nucleoplasmic NPC filaments. Biochemical, structural and gene...
متن کاملThe path of RNA through nuclear pores
The nuclear pore acts as a gate in the nuclear envelope that permits exchange of macromolecules between nucleus and cytoplasm (reviewed by Akey, 1995; Bastos et al., 1995; Davis, 1995; Panté and Aebi, 1996; Mattaj and Englmeier, 1998; Yang et al., 1998). It is a huge wheel-like assembly (>1 MDa) of multiple copies of >100 different proteins arranged with eightfold symmetry. A central transporte...
