Functional interactions between nucleoporins and chromatin - Liang, Yun; HETZER, Martin W (Current Opinion in Cell Biology, 2011)
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.
