    Age-dependent deterioration of nuclear pore assembly in mitotic cells decreases transport dynamics

    Irina L Rempel, Matthew M Crane ... Liesbeth M Veenhoff
    In replicative ageing yeast cells, an age-dependent impediment in proper assembly of nuclear pore complexes is associated with altered nuclear transport.

    Evolved bacterial resistance to the chemotherapy gemcitabine modulates its efficacy in co-cultured cancer cells

    Serkan Sayin, Brittany Rosener ... Amir Mitchell
    Mutations conferring resistance to Escherichia coli against the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine can have opposite effects on bacterial drug degradation and therefore can increase or decrease the chemotherapy load on neighboring cancer cells.

    Importin-β modulates the permeability of the nuclear pore complex in a Ran-dependent manner

    Alan R Lowe, Jeffrey H Tang ... Jan T Liphardt
    The Ran GTPase plays a role in defining the physical properties of the nuclear pore complex transport channel by remodeling the binding interactions of importin-β with the nucleoporin Nup153 at the nuclear face of the pore.

    Random sub-diffusion and capture of genes by the nuclear pore reduces dynamics and coordinates inter-chromosomal movement

    Michael Chas Sumner, Steven B Torrisi ... Jason H Brickner
    Measuring and simulating chromatin dynamics reveals that repositioning of genes to the nuclear pore is neither active nor vectorial, but reduces sub-diffusion and coordinates movement between loci on different chromosomes.

    Traumatic injury compromises nucleocytoplasmic transport and leads to TDP-43 pathology

    Eric N Anderson, Andrés A Morera ... Udai Bhan Pandey
    Traumatic injury leads to functional defects in nucleocytoplasmic transport and TDP-43 pathology in multiple model systems.

    Scaffold nucleoporins Nup188 and Nup192 share structural and functional properties with nuclear transport receptors

    Kasper R Andersen, Evgeny Onischenko ... Thomas U Schwartz
    Components of the nuclear pore complex share structural and functional features with soluble nuclear transport receptors, which suggests that there may be an evolutionary relationship between these two types of protein.

    Channel nuclear pore complex subunits are required for transposon silencing in Drosophila

    Marzia Munafò, Victoria R Lawless ... Benjamin Czech
    By linking export and licensing of a piRNA precursor transcript, channel nuclear pore complex subunits Nup54 and Nup58 are specifically required to silence transposons in the Drosophila ovary.

    Neural mechanisms underlying expectation-dependent inhibition of distracting information

    Dirk van Moorselaar, Eline Lampers ... Heleen A Slagter
    Learned expectations allow for a distinct anticipatory distractor representation at the feature but not at the spatial level.

    A β-catenin-driven switch in TCF/LEF transcription factor binding to DNA target sites promotes commitment of mammalian nephron progenitor cells

    Qiuyu Guo, Albert Kim ... Andrew P McMahon
    β-Catenin-mediated expansion of nephron progenitors is independent of direct β-catenin/chromatin engagement, while progenitor induction proceeds with a β-catenin-driven switch of repressive TCFL1/TCFL2 to activating TCF7/LEF1 factors on transcriptionally poised enhancers.

    Simple biophysics underpins collective conformations of the intrinsically disordered proteins of the Nuclear Pore Complex

    Andrei Vovk, Chad Gu ... Anton Zilman
    Simple biophysical considerations explain the collective behavior of molecularly diverse complex protein assemblies that regulate transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in eukaryotic organisms.
