Journal ArticleDOI

Catastrophic Nuclear Envelope Collapse in Cancer Cell Micronuclei

TL;DR: This study shows that NE collapse is a key event underlying MN dysfunction and establishes a link between aberrant NE organization and aneuploidy, suggesting that disrupted MN could be a useful objective biomarker for genomic instability in solid tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-dependent deterioration of nuclear pore complexes causes a loss of nuclear integrity in postmitotic cells

TL;DR: It is shown that NPCs, unlike other nuclear structures, do not turn over in differentiated cells, and that a subset of nucleoporins is oxidatively damaged in old cells, suggesting that the accumulation of damage at the NPC might be a crucial aging event.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of Long-Lived Proteins Reveals Exceptional Stability of Essential Cellular Structures

TL;DR: The identification of a long-lived proteome reveals cellular components that are at increased risk for damage accumulation, linking long-term protein persistence to the cellular aging process.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Conserved Nup107-160 Complex Is Critical for Nuclear Pore Complex Assembly

TL;DR: A stepwise model is proposed in which postmitotic NPC assembly initiates on chromatin via early recruitment of the Nup107-160 complex, which is conserved in higher eukaryotes and prevents association of FG-repeat nucleoporins with chromatin.
