Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nNup50 serves as a pivotal regulator in the final stages of nuclear import by actively displacing nuclear localization signals (NLSs) from importin‐α, thereby promoting disassembly of the import complex and recycling of the transport factor. Structural studies have revealed that Nup50 binds importin‐α at two discrete sites—one overlapping the secondary NLS-binding region and another along its C-terminus—where both contacts are critical for its function. This coordinated interaction facilitates the termination of nuclear import in vertebrates, ensuring that cargo delivery and importin recycling are efficiently coupled."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \nNup50 also exhibits a dynamic behavior that extends beyond the nuclear pore complex. It shuttles between the NPC and the nucleoplasm in a process that is dependent on active RNA polymerase II transcription, a property mediated by its N-terminal domain containing binding motifs for importin‐α and Nup153. This mobility underlies a transport-independent role in chromatin regulation and gene expression, and is further exemplified by its interaction with the melanocortin 2 receptor—where hormone-induced internalization triggers the translocation of the Nup50-receptor complex to the nucleus, hinting at a broader participation in signaling pathways."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n \nIn developmental contexts, Nup50 is essential for the survival of primordial germ cells. Studies in Nup50-deficient mice demonstrate that loss of this nucleoporin results in increased apoptosis of migrating germ cells and a dramatic reduction in germ cell numbers during critical embryonic stages, underscoring its key role in germ cell viability and proper gonadal development."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Yoshiyuki Matsuura, Murray Stewart "}, {"type": "b", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Nup50/Npap60 function in nuclear protein import complex disassembly and importin recycling."}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " "}, {"type": "i", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "EMBO J (2005)"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " DOI: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "10.1038/sj.emboj.7600843"}], "href": "https://doi.org/10.1038/sj.emboj.7600843"}, {"type": "t", "text": " PMID: "}, {"type": "a", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "16222336"}], "href": "https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16222336"}]}, {"type": "r", "ref": 2, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Marina Doufexis, Helen L Storr, Peter J King, et al.
