Abstract
In vivo studies on the dynamics of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) in yeast suggested that NPCs are highly mobile in the nuclear envelope. However, new evidence indicates that in mammalian cells NPCs are stably attached to a f lexible lamina framework, but a peripheral component can exchange rapidly w ith an intranuclear pool.
