“…This was how the immunopurification of one of the NPC components, nucleoporin Seh1, revealed that this protein did not only co-purify with the Nup84 subcomplex, the major constituent of the NPC scaffold, but also with the following four high-molecular-weight proteins with completely unknown functions at the time: Yjr138p (Iml1), Yol138p (Rtc1), Ydr128p (Mtc5) from SEACIT [13]. Similar observations have recently been made in S. pombe, where Sea3 anchors other GATOR2 components to GATOR1, although, as expected, Sea3 was not required for the assembly of GATOR1 components [28]. In humans, GATOR1 and GATOR2 do not form a stable GATOR complex [12], yet, similar to yeast, NPRL3 is necessary and sufficient for the interaction with GATOR2 [29].…”
