A dominant-negative form of POM121 binds chromatin and disrupts the two separate modes of nuclear pore assembly.

Abstract excerpt

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are formed during two separate stages of the metazoan cell cycle. They are assembled into the re-forming nuclear envelope (NE) at the exit from mitosis and into an intact, expanding NE during interphase. Here, we show that a soluble internal fragment of the membrane nucleoporin POM121 has a dominant-negative effect on both modes of assembly in a cell-free reconstitution system. The...
