Nuclear pore complexes are the transport gates to the nucleus. Most proteins forming these huge complexes are evolutionarily conserved, as is the eightfold symmetry of these complexes. A new study reporting the structure of the yeast nuclear pore complex now shows striking differences from its human counterpart.
核孔复合体是细胞核的运输门户。形成这些巨大复合物的大多数蛋白质在进化上是保守的,这些复合物的八重对称性也是如此。一项新的研究报告了酵母核孔复合体的结构,现在显示出与人类核孔复合体的惊人差异。
