Figure 6

DNA helicase unwinds DNA and RNA polymerase II and co-activators proceed with transcription and mRNA maturation. Pre-mRNA is capped, polyadenylated, and spliced. Mature mRNA is then carried by MOS11 and its partners to TREX2, which associates with NUP1. LOS4 then binds the mRNA and passes the mature mRNA through the nuclear pores with the help of the NUP107–160 complex to the cytosol where it can be translated.
