The nuclear envelope is formed by two lipid bilayer membranes. These are connected to each other by nuclear pores that control the movement of molecules into the nucleus. What does the nuclear envelope do in the nucleus? The nuclear envelope separates the nucleus of a cell from the other cell...

In some fungi the nuclei in the fused hyphae immediately combine to form a zygote. In others the two genetically distinct nuclei remain separate, forming pairs that divide synchronously. Eventually some nuclei fuse. HOMEWORK I.MULTIPLE-CHOICE QUESTIONS 1. Features of the nuclear envelope include a...
Nuclear protein fractions, described earlier, were identified as constituents of the nuclear sap (the 'globulin fraction'), that of the nucleoli and ribonucleoprotein network (the 'acidic protein'), and of the nuclear envelope (the 'residual protein'). The latter two fractions compose the protein...
Proper subcellular localization is crucial for the functioning of biomacromolecules, including proteins and RNAs. Nuclear transport is a fundamental cellular process that regulates the localization of many macromolecules within the nuclear or cytoplasmic
Nucleocytoplasmic localization and kinase activity of Aurora B before nuclear envelope breakdown: Modulation by INCENP and Survivin-ΔEx3 4433 Defects in the process of mitosis may lead to abnormal chromosome segregation and aneuploidy, a hallmark of cancer cells. The chromosomal passenger proteins (CP...

Intermediate filaments are also found within the nucleus of animal cells. There, they form a meshwork called the nuclear lamina, which underlies and strengthens the nuclear envelope. In this section, we see how the structure and assembly of intermediate filaments makes them particularly suited to st...
The nuclear envelope is highly selective for the dynamic exchange of macromolecules between the nucleus and cytoplasm11,12,13,14. The classic nuclear import pathway for proteins depends on the binding of a short nuclear localization signal (NLS) sequence by importin-α, interaction with importin-...
Nuclear calcium is an important mediator of activity-dependent gene expression in the nervous system. It serves as a signalling end point in synapse-to-nucleus communication and activates gene programmes needed for the long-term implementation of many neuroadaptations, including memory consolidation, acq...
