Biological function summary
Nup153 contributes to the assembly and disassembly of the NPC during cell cycle progression. It acts as a docking site for various nuclear import and export receptors therefore is essential for nucleocytoplasmic transport. Nup153 is an important component in the larger nuclear pore complex which itself is made up of multiple nucleoporins forming a sophisticated structure capable of both passive and active transport processes.
Pathways
Nup153 is intricately involved in the nucleocytoplasmic transport pathway and plays a critical role in RNA processing. It interacts with proteins such as Importin β and Exportin which facilitate the transport of different molecules across the nuclear envelope. This pathway is fundamental for the proper regulation of gene expression and cell cycle control exhibiting the importance of Nup153 in cellular dynamics.
