Structure and simulations reveal SARS-CoV-2 NSP10 is more resistant to genetic variations than other SARS-CoV-2 NSPs and that the presence of mutations conserves structural and dynamic changes in NSP10.
Nuclear pores assemble asymmetrically, by an inside-out evagination of the inner nuclear membrane that grows in diameter and depth until it fuses with the flat outer nuclear membrane.
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.
