The nuclear pore complex: understanding its function through structural insight

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 18, 73 (2017). doi:10.1038/nrm.2016.147 Authors: Martin Beck & Ed Hurt Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) fuse the inner and outer nuclear membranes to form channels across the nuclear envelope. They are large macromolecular assemblies with a complex composition and diverse functions. Apart from facilitating nucleocytoplasmic transport, NPCs are involved in chromatin organization, the regulation of gene
