In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, organelles and macromolecular complexes are delivered from the mother to the emerging daughter during cell division, thereby ensuring progeny viability. Here, we have shown that during mitosis nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) in the mother nucleus are actively delivered through the bud neck and into the daughter cell concomitantly with the nuclear envelope. Furthermore, we show that NPC movement into the daughter cell requires members of an NPC subcomplex containing Nsp1p and its interacting partners. NPCs lacking these nucleoporins (Nups) were blocked from entry into the daughter by a putative barrier at the bud neck. This selection process could be observed within individual cells such that NPCs containing Nup82p (an Nsp1p-interacting Nup) were transferred to the daughter cells while functionally compromised NPCs lacking Nup82p were retained in the mother. This mechanism is proposed to facilitate the inheritance of functional NPCs by daughter cells.

Background/purpose: Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor family caspase recruitment domain containing protein 5 (NLRC5) plays a regulatory role in innate and adaptive immunity. However, its role in periodontitis remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of NLRC5 on periodontitis and the underlying mechanism.

Background: The two-stage surgical technique of associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) enables extensive liver resection and promotes future liver remnant regeneration (FLR), in part by inhibiting the Hippo signalling pathway. Its main effector, Yes-associated protein (YAP), has low intrinsic transcriptional activity and requires the transcription enhanced associated domain factor (TEAD) family members as cofactors for target gene transcription. We evaluated the intracellular localization and expression of TEAD1-4, hypothesized to regulate the activity of YAP and, consequently, liver regeneration.

During lung development, the embryonic airway originates as a wishbone-shaped epithelial tube, which undergoes a series of branching events to build the bronchial tree. This process depends crucially on cell proliferation and is thought to involve distinct branching modes: lateral branching, wherein daughter branches emerge along the length of a parent branch, and bifurcations, wherein the tip of a parent branch splits to form two new daughter branches. The developing airway is fluid-filled, and previous studies have shown that altered luminal pressure can influence rates of branching morphogenesis.

Chromatin remodeling, which involves the histone-to-protamine exchange process during spermiogenesis, is crucial for sperm nuclear condensation and male fertility. However, the key regulators and underlying molecular mechanisms involved in this process remain largely unexplored. In this study, we discovered that deficiency in the family with sequence similarity 170 member A (Fam170a) led to abnormal sperm nuclear morphology and male infertility in mice, mirroring the observation of very low Fam170a transcription levels in sperm of infertile men with teratozoospermia.
