Nuclear pore complex in Drosophila melanogaster
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is a large assembly of about 30 different nucleoporins, each present in multiple copies, that spans the nuclear envelope and controls traffic between nucleus and cytoplasm. A symmetric core of stacked rings (two outer rings built from the Nup107-160 Y-complex, an inner ring, and a transmembrane ring) anchors a central channel filled with phenylalanine-glycine (FG) repeat nucleoporins that form the permeability barrier. Asymmetric cytoplasmic filaments and a nuclear basket attach to the core and act in mRNA export and in docking of transport receptors. Several Drosophila nucleoporins also act off the pore, for example in gene regulation and in mitosis.
Sub-structure follows the conserved assignments of the human and yeast homologs; FlyBase lists the nucleoporins as one flat group. Mgtor is the Drosophila Tpr homolog (Megator). No molecular function is assigned: the nuclear pore complex is modelled as a structural assembly. Scaffold nucleoporins carry structural constituent of nuclear pore (GO:0017056) in GOA, mostly by IBA and ISS, but per-subunit structural terms are not added; selective transport is a property of the assembled pore and its FG-repeat network. FlyBase groups realized by this module: NPC (FBgg0000146). Participants were generated from the FlyBase gene-group membership and mapped to UniProtKB by projects/FLYBASE_GENE_GROUPS/generate_modules.py from module_specs/dmel_nuclear_pore_complex.yaml. None of the member genes has a gene review in this repository yet.

Details
Nucleoporin assembly spanning the nuclear envelope, with outer, inner and membrane rings, an FG-repeat central channel, cytoplasmic filaments and a nuclear basket.
The Y-shaped Nup107-160 complex forms the cytoplasmic and nuclear outer rings. Elys binds the Y-complex and chromatin and seeds post-mitotic pore assembly. Nup98-96 encodes a precursor that is cleaved into the FG nucleoporin Nup98 and the Y-complex subunit Nup96.
Annotons
The Nup93 and Nup205/Nup188 scaffold, with Nup154 and Nup35, forms the inner ring that links the membrane to the central channel.
Annotons
Integral membrane nucleoporins that anchor the NPC in the pore membrane.
Annotons
The Nup62 subcomplex of FG nucleoporins lines the central channel and forms the selective barrier.
Annotons
Nup358 (RanBP2), Nup214 and Nup88 (mbo) form the cytoplasmic filaments; Gle1 and the Gle1-binding nucleoporin CG18787 (Nucleoporin-like 2) act at this face in the final step of mRNA export.
Annotons
Mgtor (the Tpr homolog), Nup153 and Nup50 form the nuclear basket.
Annotons
Rae1, which binds the Gle2-binding sequence of Nup98, and Aladin, which in human cells is anchored to the pore through NDC1.
