个人简介
Using a variety of techniques, Rout and his colleagues are studying the structure of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) and relating their structure to sites of interactions and reactions with soluble nuclear transport factors. Ultimately, they hope to gain a better understanding of the roles NPCs play in gene expression, nuclear regulation, and maintenance.
A full understanding of how NPCs mediate transport and help regulate the nucleus requires a comprehensive inventory of their molecular components, knowledge of how each component contributes to the overall structure, and information on the interactions NPC proteins have with components of the mobile phase of nucleocytoplasmic transport. Rout and his colleagues have catalogued the components of the yeast NPC and determined that it is composed of a surprisingly small number of proteins whose size and high degree of overall symmetry account for the NPC’s large mass.
By systematically isolating and analyzing the subcomplexes of proteins making up the NPC, and by isolating the entire NPC as a whole, they have computed three-dimensional maps of its architecture, sufficient to resolve its molecular organization. This mapping has exposed similarities between structures in coated vesicles and those in the NPC, supporting a hypothesis for their common evolutionary origin in a progenitor protocoatomer. Moreover, the map reveals an extensive underlying modularity in the architecture of the NPC, suggesting that repeated duplication events led to the evolution of its final architecture. They have also shown how the scaffold of the NPC resembles the structure of a suspension bridge, providing both strength and flexibility to the assembly. The lab is now continuing their work to characterize the NPC’s architecture with the highest level of precision.
In a similar fashion, Rout and his colleagues are studying members of the mobile phase, focusing on the kinetic behavior of nup-transport factor and transport factor-cargo interactions using a variety of approaches. These results have already indicated a mechanism for nuclear transport. Rout’s ultimate goal is to integrate ultrastructural and biochemical studies to understand the molecular basis of the translocation of different transport factors across the NPC. He aims to reconstitute key reactions of these processes in vitro, study the high-resolution structures mediating the transport processes, and test possible mechanistic models in vivo to understand the complete sequence of events during a transport cycle.
