What's a GeneRIF?

Data show that Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp)-Nup37 specifically binds the Sp-Nup120 member of the hetero-heptamer but does not bind an Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Sc)-Nup120 homolog.
Title: Structural evolution of the membrane-coating module of the nuclear pore complex.
Data show that the C Terminus of Nup120 Directly Binds Nup145C and Nup85.
Title: The structure of the scaffold nucleoporin Nup120 reveals a new and unexpected domain architecture.
As mapping of the individual components in the Nup84 complex places Nup120 and Nup133 at opposite ends of the heptamer, findings indicate a head-to-tail arrangement of elongated Nup84 complexes into a ring structure.
Title: Structural and functional analysis of Nup120 suggests ring formation of the Nup84 complex.

Preferred Names: Nup120p

NP_012866.1

Subunit of the Nup84p subcomplex of the nuclear pore complex (NPC); contributes to nucleocytoplasmic transport and NPC biogenesis and is involved in establishment of a normal nucleocytoplasmic concentration gradient of the GTPase Gsp1p; also plays roles in several processes that may require localization of genes or chromosomes at the nuclear periphery, including double-strand break repair, transcription and chromatin silencing; homologous to human NUP160
