核孔组装的定量图谱揭示两种不同的机制
2023-01-07 15:23

近日,德国欧洲分子生物学实验室Jan Ellenberg等研究人员合作发现,核孔组装的定量图谱揭示两种不同的机制。相关论文于2023年1月4日在线发表在《自然》杂志上。

研究人员使用荧光相关光谱对内源性荧光标记的核蛋白进行校准活体成像,以绘制人类核孔复合体(NPC)在单个分裂细胞中组装过程中七个主要模块的组成和化学计量的变化。这一系统的定量图显示,两种组装途径具有不同的分子机制,其中两个大的结构成分,中心环复合物和核丝的添加顺序是颠倒的。动态化学计量数据被整合到一起,建立了NPC组装途径的时空模型,并预测了有丝分裂后NPC组装中间物的结构。
据介绍,了解NPC是如何组装的,对于掌握其基本功能背后的机制和理解其在真核生物进化过程中的作用具有根本的重要性。至少有两条NPC组装途径:一条是在有丝分裂的退出过程中,另一条是在分裂间期的核生长过程中,但人们目前缺乏这些事件的定量图谱。

Abstract: Understanding how the nuclear pore complex (NPC) is assembled is of fundamental importance to grasp the mechanisms behind its essential function and understand its role during the evolution of eukaryotes1,2,3,4. There are at least two NPC assembly pathways—one during the exit from mitosis and one during nuclear growth in interphase—but we currently lack a quantitative map of these events. Here we use fluorescence correlation spectroscopy calibrated live imaging of endogenously fluorescently tagged nucleoporins to map the changes in the composition and stoichiometry of seven major modules of the human NPC during its assembly in single dividing cells. This systematic quantitative map reveals that the two assembly pathways have distinct molecular mechanisms, in which the order of addition of two large structural components, the central ring complex and nuclear filaments are inverted. The dynamic stoichiometry data was integrated to create a spatiotemporal model of the NPC assembly pathway and predict the structures of postmitotic NPC assembly intermediates.
