biosights: August 6, 2012 - Redistribution aids the pore

submitted by: JCB
In animal cells, the nuclear lamina keeps nuclear pore complexes evenly distributed throughout the nuclear envelope. Steinberg et al. reveal that fungi, which lack nuclear laminae, prevent their nuclear pores from clustering by moving them around on cytoskeletal tracks, a process that also helps to organize fungal chromosomes and optimize nucleocytoplasmic transport. This biosights episode presents the paper by Steinberg et al. from the August 6, 2012, issue of The Journal of Cell Biology...
