Abstract
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.Entities:
