Nucleoporin 50 (Nup50) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUP50 gene. [5] [6]

Contents

The nuclear pore complex is a massive structure that extends across the nuclear envelope, forming a gateway that regulates the flow of macromolecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Nucleoporins are the main components of the nuclear pore complex in eukaryotic cells. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the FG-repeat containing nucleoporins that functions as a soluble cofactor in importin-alpha:beta-mediated nuclear protein import. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 5, 6, and 14. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [6]

Interactions

NUP50 has been shown to interact with KPNB1 [7] and CDKN1B. [8]

A variant of NUP50 a nucleopore basket protein, is associated with sporadic ALS. Its dysfunction precedes the mislocation of TDP-43 from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. [9]

Nuclear pore glycoprotein p62 is a protein complex associated with the nuclear envelope.

In humans it is encoded by the NUP62 gene.

Nucleoporin 153 (Nup153) is a protein which in humans is encoded by the NUP153 gene. It is an essential component of the basket of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in vertebrates, and required for the anchoring of NPCs. It also acts as the docking site of an importing karyopherin. On the cytoplasmic side of the NPC, Nup358 fulfills an analogous role.
