== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/NUP82_YEAST NUP82_YEAST] Functions as a component of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). NPC components, collectively referred to as nucleoporins (NUPs), can play the role of both NPC structural components and of docking or interaction partners for transiently associated nuclear transport factors. It is specifically involved as part of the NUP82-NUP159-NSP1 subcomplex in nuclear mRNA and pre-ribosome export by acting as a linker tethering nucleoporins that are directly involved in nuclear transport to the NPC via its coiled-coil domain.<ref>PMID:7559750</ref> <ref>PMID:9843582</ref> <ref>PMID:10801828</ref> <ref>PMID:10891509</ref> <ref>PMID:11739405</ref> <ref>PMID:11689687</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
So far, only a few of the interactions between the approximately 30 nucleoporins comprising the modular structure of the nuclear pore complex have been defined at atomic resolution. Here we report the crystal structure, at 2.6 A resolution, of a heterotrimeric complex, composed of fragments of three cytoplasmically oriented nucleoporins of yeast: Nup82, Nup116, and Nup159. Our data show that the Nup82 fragment, representing more than the N-terminal half of the molecule, folds into an extensively decorated, seven-bladed beta-propeller that forms the centerpiece of this heterotrimeric complex and anchors both a C-terminal fragment of Nup116 and the C-terminal tail of Nup159. Binding between Nup116 and Nup82 is mutually reinforced via two loops, one emanating from the Nup82 beta-propeller and the other one from the beta-sandwich fold of Nup116, each contacting binding pockets in their counterparts. The Nup82-Nup159 interaction occurs through an amphipathic alpha-helix of Nup159, which is cradled in a large hydrophobic groove that is generated from several large surface decorations of the Nup82 beta-propeller. Although Nup159 and Nup116 fragments bind to the Nup82 beta-propeller in close vicinity, there are no direct contacts between them, consistent with the noncooperative binding that was detected biochemically. Extensive mutagenesis delineated hot-spot residues for these interactions. We also showed that the Nup82 beta-propeller binds to other yeast Nup116 family members, Nup145N, Nup100 and to the mammalian homolog, Nup98. Notably, each of the three nucleoporins contains additional nuclear pore complex binding sites, distinct from those that were defined here in the heterotrimeric Nup82*Nup159*Nup116 complex.
