Viruses Challenge Selectivity Barrier of Nuclear Pores
2013
Viruses
Exchange between the nucleus and the cytoplasm occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) embedded in the double membrane of the nuclear envelope. ...
In this review, we will discuss the functional principles of NPC barrier and nuclear transport machinery, as well as the various strategies viruses use to cross the selective barrier of NPCs. ...
Thus, the main sorting criterion of NPCs' barrier is partitioning into a selective phase that is a good "solvent" for NTRs, but not for polar inert macromolecules. ...

The permeability barrier of nuclear pore complexes appears to operate via hydrophobic exclusion
2002
EMBO Journal
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) restrict the nucleo-cytoplasmic¯ux of most macromolecules, but permit facilitated passage of nuclear transport receptors and their cargo complexes. ...
We found that a simple hydrophobic interaction column can mimic the selectivity of NPCs surprisingly well and that nuclear transport receptors appear to be the most hydrophobic soluble proteins. ...

A coarse-grained computational model of the nuclear pore complex predicts Phe-Gly nucleoporin dynamics
2017
The Journal of General Physiology
The phenylalanine-glycine–repeat nucleoporins (FG-Nups), which occupy the lumen of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), are critical for transport between the nucleus and cytosol. ...
Transport through the pore is on the millisecond timescale. Here, to explore the dynamics of nucleoporins on this timescale, we use coarse-grained computational simulations. ...

Kinetic analysis of translocation through nuclear pore complexes
2001
EMBO Journal
The mechanism of facilitated translocation through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) is only poorly understood. Here, we present a kinetic analysis of the process using various model substrates. ...
We propose a'selective phase model' that could explain how NPCs function as a permeability barrier for inert molecules and yet become selectively permeable for nuclear transport receptors and receptor± ...

Nucleocytoplasmic transport of intrinsically disordered proteins studied by high-speed super-resolution microscopy
2020
Protein Science
Both natively folded and intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) destined for the nucleus need to transport through the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in eukaryotic cells. ...
Our data revealed that the rules executed for folded proteins are not well followed by the IDPs. Instead, both large and small IDPs can passively diffuse through the NPCs. ...
