| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Nuclear pore complexes (NPC) are large protein channels that act as the sole mediators of molecular exchange between the nucleus and the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Besides its function in controlling nucleocytoplasmic transport, the NPC and its components have been found to exert many transport independent functions. One of the most studied ones are the mitotic roles of nucleoporins. We and others discovered that NPCs disassemble during mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown, many soluble nucleoporins have been found to relocate to kinetochores, mitotic spindles and centrosomes. In this project, we are investigating the NPC proteins at the centrosomes. We have published 4 papers (IF5) or above.
