A new classifier, called Nuc-PLoc, has been developed that can be exploited to recognize nuclear proteins among the following nine subnuclear locations: chromatin, heterochromatin, nuclear envelope, nuclear matrix, nuclear pore complex, nuclear speckle, nucleolus, nucleoplasm and nuclear promyelocytic leukemia (PML) body.
The barrier between nucleus and cytoplasm is usually controlled by cellular gateways called nuclear pores, which selectively import and export the molecular ingredients for life to and from the nucleus.
The work "indicates that Crm1p interacts with these nuclear pore components and delivers its cargo--Rev, for example--to the pore," concludes Rosbash.
