Structural basis of the nic96 subcomplex organization in the nuclear pore channel.

  • Nils Schrader‎ et al.
  • Molecular cell‎
  • 2008‎

Nic96 is a conserved nucleoporin that recruits the Nsp1-Nup49-Nup57 complex, a module with Phe-Gly (FG) repeats, to the central transport channel of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). Nic96 binds the Nsp1 complex via its N domain and assembles into the NPC framework via its central and C domain. Here, we report the crystal structure of a large structural nucleoporin, Nic96 without its N domain (Nic96DeltaN). Nic96DeltaN is composed of three domains and is a straight molecule that--although almost entirely helical--exhibits strong deviations from the predicted alpha-solenoid fold. The missing N domain projects midway from the Nic96 molecule, indicating how the Nsp1 complex might be located with respect to the rod-like Nic96. Notably, Nic96DeltaN binds in vitro to FG repeats of the Nsp1 complex. These data suggest a model of how Nic96 could organize a transport module with coiled-coil domains and FG repeats in the central pore channel.


Sus1, Cdc31, and the Sac3 CID region form a conserved interaction platform that promotes nuclear pore association and mRNA export.

  • Divyang Jani‎ et al.
  • Molecular cell‎
  • 2009‎

The yeast Sac3:Cdc31:Sus1:Thp1 (TREX-2) complex facilitates the repositioning and association of actively transcribing genes with nuclear pores (NPCs)-"gene gating"-that is central to integrating transcription, processing, and mRNA nuclear export. We present here the crystal structure of Sus1 and Cdc31 bound to a central region of Sac3 (the CID domain) that is crucial for its function. Sac3(CID) forms a long, gently undulating alpha helix around which one Cdc31 and two Sus1 chains are wrapped. Sus1 has an articulated helical hairpin fold that facilitates its wrapping around Sac3. In vivo studies using engineered mutations that selectively disrupted binding of individual chains to Sac3 indicated that Sus1 and Cdc31 function synergistically to promote NPC association of TREX-2 and mRNA nuclear export. These data indicate Sac3(CID) provides a scaffold within TREX-2 to integrate interactions between protein complexes to facilitate the coupling of transcription and mRNA export during gene expression.
