“…A second group of yeast nucleoporins that includes Nup49p, NuplOOp, Nupll6p (Wente et al, 1992;Wimmer et al, 1992;Wente and Blobel, 1994), and Nupl45p (Fabre et al, 1994;Wente and Blobel, 1994) have repeats of GLFG in their N-terminal and central domains. Nic96p (Grandi et al, 1993), a major component of the yeast NPC by mass (Rout and Wente, 1994), lacks repeats, whereas Srplp contains eight degenerate repeats that are related to repeats seen in plakoglobin, ,B-catenin, and the Drosophila armadillo protein (Yano et al, 1992(Yano et al, , 1994. A tenth yeast protein, POM152p, is thought to be a membrane protein (Wozniak et al, 1994), is not essential, and is also a very abundant component of the yeast NPC (Rout and Blobel, 1993).…”
