Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Tpr is a large coiled-coil protein located in the nuclear basket of the nuclear pore complex for which many different functions were proposed from yeast to human. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Here we show that depletion of Tpr by RNA interference triggers G0-G1 arrest and ultimately induces a senescent-like phenotype dependent on the presence of p53. We also found that Tpr depletion impairs the NES...
