SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for NIC96

NIC96 encodes an abundant, essential nuclear pore protein (1, 10, 11). 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 11, 12, 13, 14). The structure of the vertebrate NPC has been studied extensively; recent reviews include 15, 16, 17, and 18. The yeast NPC shares several features with the vertebrate NPC, despite being smaller and less elaborate (19, 20). Many yeast nuclear pore proteins, or nucleoporins, have been identified by a variety of genetic approaches (reviewed in 11, 12, 21, 22, 23). Nic96p is found in a subcomplex of the NPC, often called the Nsp1p subcomplex, that also contains Nsp1p, Nup49p, and Nup57p (11, 6, 1). This complex has been detected at both the nuclear and cytoplasmic periphery of the NPC central channel (2). Nic96p and the other most abundant nucleoporins, Pom152p, Nup157p, Nup170p, and Nup188p, may form the structural core of the NPC (11). Mutations in NIC96 cause defects in nuclear protein import (11); nic96 mutations are also synthetically lethal with mutations in other nucleoporin genes (24, 11). Proteins related to Nic96p have been identified in several other species, including S. pombe (25), C. elegans (26), and vertebrates (26, 27).
