Abstract:examined using fluorescence polarization microscopy. We characterized the domain organization of the FG nups, which are required for transport of cargo through the NPC. This approach revealed both structured and unstructured domains: the tips of the FG domains are disordered, whereas the NPC-anchored domains are ordered. This technique allows the collection of structural information in vivo with the ability to probe the organization of protein domains within the NPC. This has particular relevance for the FG do… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
