The Yeast Nuclear Pore Complex: Composition, Architecture, and Transport Mechanism

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive approach to classify all components of the yeast NPC (nucleoporins) was taken, which involved identifying all the proteins present in a highly enriched NPC fraction, determining which of these proteins were nucleopors, and localizing each nucleoporin within the NPC.
Journal ArticleDOI

Virtual gating and nuclear transport: the hole picture.

TL;DR: A model, termed 'virtual gating', is suggested to explain the mechanism of this rapid and selective macromolecular trafficking in eukaryotic nucleus.
Journal ArticleDOI

Peroxisomes take shape

TL;DR: Ongoing studies are deciphering the diverse molecular mechanisms that underlie biogenesis and how they cooperate to dynamically control peroxisome utility to lead to an understanding of peroxISome dynamics that can be capitalized upon for bioengineering and the development of therapies to improve human health.
