Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) provide the sole gateway for the exchange of material between nucleus and cytoplasm of interphase eukaryotic cells. They support two modes of transport: passive diffusion of ions, metabolites and intermediate-sized macromolecules, and facilitated, receptor-mediated translocation of proteins, RNA, and RNPs complexes. It is generally assumed that both modes of transp...

The reading for Friday’s class is a seminal wireless research paper. What makes this paper especially interesting experimentally is that while it is astoundingly careful, deep, and complete, ultimately one of the major conclusions of the paper turns out to be incorrect. Furthermore, this error is due to a mistake in the experimental methodology. This document explains the error and provides eno...

Snail1 and Zeb1 are E-cadherin-transcriptional repressors induced during epithelialmesenchymal-transition (EMT). In this article we have analyzed the factors controlling Zeb1 expression during EMT. In NMuMG cells treated with TGF-β, Snail1 RNA and protein are induced one hour after addition of the cytokine preceeding Zeb1 up-regulation that requires six to eight hours. Zeb1 gene expression is c...
