Recombinant Nup153 incorporates in vivo into Xenopus oocyte nuclear pore complexes
N Panté et al. J Struct Biol. 2000 Apr.
Abstract
Nup153 is a molecular constituent of the nuclear basket of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) that plays a critical role in nuclear export of RNAs and proteins. In an effort to map this nucleoporin more precisely within the nuclear basket we have developed an experimental approach for localizing Nup153 expressed and incorporated in vivo into Xenopus oocyte NPCs. This approach involves the microinjection into the cytoplasm of Xenopus oocytes of in vitro synthesized mRNA from a vector encoding an epitope-tagged cDNA. Here we present results obtained by Western blots, fluorescence microscopy, and immuno-electron microscopy, which clearly document that the heterologous protein is properly expressed, targeted, and incorporated into preexisting Xenopus NPCs. This new approach for localizing nucleoporins within the structure of the NPC overcomes limitations of previous techniques and allows for greater specificity and resolution than have been possible with previous methods.
