#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Transport of proteins from the cytoplasm into the nucleus and movement of macromolecules, including mRNAs, tRNAs, and ribosomal subunits, out of the nucleus occurs through nuclear pores, which span both membranes of the nuclear envelope.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

Each nuclear pore is formed from an elaborate structure termed the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which is one of the largest discrete protein assemblages in the cell.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

The total mass of the pore structure is 60,000– 80,000 kDa in vertebrates, which is about 16 times larger than a ribosome.

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization

In one minute, each NPC is estimated to import 60,000 protein molecules into the nucleus, while exporting 50–250 mRNA molecules, 10–20 ribosomal subunits, & 1000 tRNAs out of the nucleus.

Eight approximately 100-nm long filaments extend into the nucleoplasm with the distal ends of these filaments joined by a terminal ring, forming a structure called the nuclear basket.
