Together, the current studies reveal a previously unknown role for ESCRT-III in re-forming the nuclear envelope. The association, albeit transient, between ESCRT-III and nuclear membranes raises ...

The nuclear envelope provides a specialized microenvironment ... plasticity of nuclear shape and by allowing changes to cell form that are required for squeezing the cell through restricted ...

The double-stranded DNA molecules that make up the genetic material are wrapped around protein complexes to form compacted “chromatin ... is associated with the inner face of the nuclear envelope.

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of ...

Nuclear envelope ruptures are rapidly repaired in the nucleus, but persist at aberrant, nuclear compartments, such as micronuclei and DNA bridges, that form around mis-segregated chromosomes.

Her team's findings on Ndc1's interactions with a protein called Mps3, which appears to govern Ndc1's distribution on the nuclear envelope, are described in the February 10, 2014 issue of the ...

This transport of large goods is similar to how large macromolecules are trafficked out of the cell nucleus via an export pathway termed nuclear envelope budding. This process “allows for large ...
