Keywords nuclear pore complex in situ structural biology Ran GTPase biogenesis nuclear envelope asymmetry nucleoporins cryo-ET heterogeneity Introduction Eukaryotic cells use nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) to mediate and regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport across the nuclear envelope (NE). NPCs are ∼60–120 MDa macromolecular complexes composed of multiple copies of about 30 nucleoporins (Nups).

In situ evidence for systematic membrane thickness variation across cellular organelles

|
By Stefanie Böhm, Martin Beck, Desislava Glushkova

Abstract In eukaryotes, membrane-bound organelles create distinct molecular environments. The compartmentalizing lipid bilayer is a dynamic composite material, whose thickness and curvature modulate the structure and function of membrane proteins. In vitro, bilayer thickness correlates with lipid composition. Cellular membranes in situ, however, are continuously remodeled and the spatial variation of their biophysical properties remains understudied.

Keywords HIV NPC nuclear pore complex HIV nuclear entry HIV capsid cryo-ET in situ cryo-ET subtomogram averaging MD simulation STED CLEM Introduction Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a lentivirus that can infect non-dividing cells, including macrophages.1 Following cytoplasmic entry of the characteristic cone-shaped HIV-1 capsid, the viral genomic RNA is reverse transcribed into double-stranded cDNA, which eventually becomes integrated into the host cell genome.
