  • Title: Functional interactions between nucleoporins and chromatin.
    Author: Liang Y, Hetzer MW.
    Journal: Curr Opin Cell Biol; 2011 Feb; 23(1):65-70. PubMed ID: 21030234.
    Abstract:
    As the gatekeepers of the eukaryotic cell nucleus, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate all molecular trafficking between the nucleoplasm and the cytoplasm. In recent years, transport-independent functions of NPC components, nucleoporins, have been identified including roles in chromatin organization and gene regulation. Here, we summarize our current view of the NPC as a dynamic hub for the integration of chromatin regulation and nuclear trafficking and discuss the functional interplay between nucleoporins and the nuclear genome.
