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.

FlyBase gene group NPC: Nuclear pore complex
FlyBase release FB2026_03 groups 31 D. melanogaster genes as nuclear pore complex (NPC); this module models that group.
GO:0005643
nuclear pore
GO term grounding the module as nuclear pore.

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.

Outer ring (Nup107-160 Y-complex)Protein Complexouter_ring

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.
