Structural highlights
FunctionSEH1_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. Involved in nuclear poly(A)+ RNA export and NPC biogenesis. It is also required for normal nuclear morphology. Component of the SEA complex which coats the vacuolar membrane and is involved in intracellular trafficking, autophagy, response to nitrogen starvation, and amino acid biogenesis.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedNuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the main conduits for molecular exchange across the nuclear envelope. The NPC is a modular assembly of ~500 individual proteins, called nucleoporins or nups. Most scaffolding nups are organized in two multimeric subcomplexes, the Nup84 or Y complex and the Nic96 or inner ring complex. Working in S. cerevisiae, and to study the assembly of these two essential subcomplexes, we here develop a set of twelve nanobodies that recognize seven constituent nucleoporins of the Y and Nic96 complexes. These nanobodies all bind specifically and with high affinity. We present structures of several nup-nanobody complexes, revealing their binding sites. Additionally, constitutive expression of the nanobody suite in S. cerevisiae detect accessible and obstructed surfaces of the Y complex and Nic96 within the NPC. Overall, this suite of nanobodies provides a unique and versatile toolkit for the study of the NPC. A nanobody suite for yeast scaffold nucleoporins provides details of the nuclear pore complex structure.,Nordeen SA, Andersen KR, Knockenhauer KE, Ingram JR, Ploegh HL, Schwartz TU Nat Commun. 2020 Dec 2;11(1):6179. doi: 10.1038/s41467-020-19884-6.
