SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for NUP159

NUP159 encodes an essential nuclear pore protein (2, 1, 15). Transport of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells occurs through the nuclear pore complex (NPC), a large macromolecular complex that spans the nuclear envelope (reviewed in 15, 16, 17, 18). The structure of the vertebrate NPC has been studied extensively; recent reviews include 19, 20, 21, and 22. The yeast NPC shares several features with the vertebrate NPC, despite being smaller and less elaborate (23, 24). Many yeast nuclear pore proteins, or nucleoporins, have been identified by a variety of genetic approaches (reviewed in 15, 16, 25, 26, 27). Nup159p is one of a group of nucleoporins that contain multiple repeats of the amino acids GLFG (2, 1, 15), and is found only on the cytoplasmic face of the pore (1). At the restrictive temperature, a temperature-sensitive nup159 allele changes the distribution of NPCs within the nuclear envelope, and is defective in mRNA export from the nucleus (2). The phenotype can be partially suppressed by overexpression of the RNA export factor Gle1p (28, 15). Domain analysis suggests that the N-terminal thrid of Nup159p is important for its role in nuclear mRNA export (29). While nup159 mutants do not show protein import defects (15), Nup159p associates physically with Pse1p, a member of a protein family implicated in nuclear protein import (30). nup159 mutations are synthetically lethal with mutations in several other nucleoporin genes (15).
