Abstract excerpt
Nuclear Pore Complexes (NPCs) are involved in the regulation of nucleo-cytoplasmic trafficking. Drosophila Nup154 encodes a nucleoporin component of the NPC that is expressed in high proliferating tissues such as germ cells. Hypomorphic mutations in this gene cause male and female sterility and reduction of cell proliferation in the adult fly. Here, we present evidences of a decrease in the number of...
