title: [Nuclear pores: from yeast to higher eukaryotes].
abstract: In eukaryotes, bidirectional transport of macro-molecules between the cytoplasm and the nucleus occurs through elaborate supramolecular structures embedded in the nuclear envelope, the nuclear pore complexes (NPCs), whose overall architecture has been evolutionary conserved from yeast to vertebrates. In recent years, fast progress in characterizing the NPCs components (the nucleoporins or Nups) has been made in the yeast S. cerevisiae, and to a lesser extent in vertebrates. In addition, despite the low homology between most yeast and vertebrate nucleoporins, their organization and their topological mapping within the NPC substructures have been broadly conserved during evolution.
