Figure 1

Shown here is the electron microscopy structure of the NPC. (Upper panel) Given here is the electron microscopy image of the cytoplasmic (left) and the nucleocytoplasmic (right) openings of the NPC imaged in Xenopus oocyte; adapted from Goldberg et al. (15) (Springer-Verlag with permission). (Lower panel) Given here is a cryo-TEM reconstruction of the NPC vertical cross-section in Xenopus oocyte (nuclear basket is not shown) (16). The nuclear envelope is shown in gray. Structural proteins forming the central ring are shown in blue, whereas those forming the distal rings are shown in beige and green.
