Abstract Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are huge assemblies
formed from ~30 different nucleoporins,
typically organized in subcomplexes. One module,
the conserved Nup82 complex at the cytoplasmic
face of NPCs, is crucial to terminate mRNA export. To
gain insight into the structure, assembly, and function of
the cytoplasmic pore filaments, we reconstituted in
yeast the Nup82–Nup159–Nsp1–Dyn2 complex, which
was suitable for biochemical, biophysical, and electron
microscopy analyses. Our integrative approach revealed
that the yeast Nup82 complex forms an unusual asymmetric
structure with a dimeric array of subunits. Based on
all these data, we developed a three-dimensional structural
model of the Nup82 complex that depicts how this
module might be anchored to the NPC scaffold and concomitantly
can interact with the soluble nucleocytoplasmic
transport machinery.
