- Abstract
The article discusses the parallels between nuclear-pore and plasmodesmal trafficking of information molecules. The article states that the relative ease, with which intact nuclei can be isolated, permitted the development of an in vitro assay system, which could be used to examine the processes underlying the transport of proteins and mRNA across the NPC. Such a system, in conjunction with yeast genetics, provided a powerful experimental tool, with which to dissect the functional constituents of the NPC. In higher eukaryotes, the NPC is composed of approximately 100 proteins, called nucleoporins, present in varying stoichiometries, and in the functional state it has a molecular mass of around 125 MDa.
