Abstract
Nuclear pore complex (NPC) embedded in the nuclear envelope, is the only channel for macromolecule nucleocytoplasmic transportation and has important biological functions. However, the deregulation of specific nucleoporins (Nups) and NPC-Nup-based mechanisms and their function in tumour progression remain poorly understood. Here, we aimed to identify the Nups that contribute to HCC progression and metastasis in 729 primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases using molecular, cytological, and biochemical techniques. Our results revealed elevated Nup93 expression in HCC tissues, especially in cases with metastasis, and was linked to worse prognosis. Furthermore, Nup93 knockdown suppressed HCC cell metastasis and proliferation, while Nup93 overexpression promoted these activities. We observed that Nup93 promotes HCC metastasis and proliferation by regulating β-catenin translocation. In addition, we found that Nup93 interacted with β-catenin directly, independent of importin. Furthermore, LEF1 and β-catenin facilitated the Nup93-mediated metastasis and proliferation in HCC via a positive feedback loop. Thus, our findings provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying the Nup93-induced promotion of HCC metastasis and suggest potential therapeutic targets in the LEF1-Nup93-β-catenin pathway for HCC therapeutics.

Abstract
Nucleoporins regulate nuclear transport and are also involved in DNA damage, repair, cell cycle, chromatin organization, and gene expression. Here, we studied the role of nucleoporin Nup93 and the chromatin organizer CTCF in regulating HOXA expression during differentiation. ChIP sequencing revealed a significant overlap between Nup93 and CTCF peaks. Interestingly, Nup93 and CTCF are associated with the 3' and 5'HOXA genes respectively. Depletions of Nup93 and CTCF antagonistically modulate expression levels of 3'and 5'HOXA genes in undifferentiated NT2/D1 cells. Nup93 also regulates the localization of the HOXA gene locus, which disengages from the nuclear periphery upon Nup93 but not CTCF depletion, consistent with its upregulation. The dynamic association of Nup93 and CTCF with the HOXA locus during differentiation correlates with its spatial positioning and expression. While Nup93 tethers the HOXA locus to the nuclear periphery, CTCF potentially regulates looping of the HOXA gene cluster in a temporal manner. In summary, Nup93 and CTCF complement one another in modulating the spatiotemporal dynamics and function of the HOXA gene locus during differentiation.

Abstract
The central transport channel (CTC) of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) is made up of three nucleoporins Nup62, Nup58 and Nup54. In which manner and capacity, these nucleoporins form the CTC, is not yet clear. We explored the CTC Nups from various species and observed that distinct biochemical characteristics of CTC Nups are evolutionarily conserved. Moreover, comparative biochemical analysis of CTC complexes showed various stoichiometric combinations of Nup62, Nup54 and Nup58 coexisting together. We observed the conserved amino-terminal domain of mammalian Nup93 is crucial for the anchorage of CTC and its localization to NPCs. We could reconstitute and purify mammalian CTC·Nup93 quaternary complex by co-expressing full length or N-terminal domain of Nup93 along with CTC complex. Further, we characterized CTC·Nup93 complex using small angle X-ray scattering and electron microscopy that revealed a "V" shape of CTC·Nup93 complex. Overall, this study demonstrated for the first time evolutionarily conserved plasticity and stoichiometric diversity in CTC Nups.

Abstract
Cervical cancer is a prevalent and devastating malignancy in females worldwide. Nucleoporin 93 (Nup93), a member of the nuclear pore complex, plays an important role in transport across the nuclear pore. Several nucleoporins have been linked to cancer. However, the oncogenic role and underlying mechanism of Nup93 in cervical cancer development have not been reported. In this study, the expression of Nup93 was analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blot analysis, and immunohistochemical staining in cervical cancer tissues and cell lines. We found that the expression of Nup93 was higher in cervical cancer samples, compared to normal cervical samples. The knockdown of Nup93 inhibited cell proliferation, migration, and invasion capacity of cervical cancer cells. At the same time, we also found that silencing of Nup93 could inhibit cellular migration and invasion by regulating cytoskeleton actin and Rho family proteins. Nup93 also participated in the IL-6/STAT3 signaling pathway. In addition, down-regulation of Nup93 prevented tumor formation in mice in vivo. Thus, Nup93 may be a carcinogenic gene and serve as a potential therapeutic target for cervical cancer.

Abstract
Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus nonstructural protein 1 (nsp1) is a key factor in virus-induced down-regulation of host gene expression. In infected cells, nsp1 engages in a multipronged mechanism to inhibit host gene expression by binding to the 40S ribosome to block the assembly of translationally competent ribosome, and then inducing endonucleolytic cleavage and the degradation of host mRNAs. Here, we report a previously undetected mechanism by which nsp1 exploits the nuclear pore complex and disrupts the nuclear-cytoplasmic transport of biomolecules. We identified members of the nuclear pore complex from the nsp1-associated protein assembly and found that the expression of nsp1 in HEK cells disrupts Nup93 localization around the nuclear envelope without triggering proteolytic degradation, while the nuclear lamina remains unperturbed. Consistent with its role in host shutoff, nsp1 alters the nuclear-cytoplasmic distribution of an RNA binding protein, nucleolin. Our results suggest that nsp1, alone, can regulate multiple steps of gene expression including nuclear-cytoplasmic transport.

Abstract
Interactions between the genome and the nuclear pore complex (NPC) have been implicated in multiple gene regulatory processes, but the underlying logic of these interactions remains poorly defined. Here, we report high-resolution chromatin binding maps of two core components of the NPC, Nup107 and Nup93, in Drosophila cells. Our investigation uncovered differential binding of these NPC subunits, where Nup107 preferentially targets active genes while Nup93 associates primarily with Polycomb-silenced regions. Comparison to Lamin-associated domains (LADs) revealed that NPC binding sites can be found within LADs, demonstrating a linear binding of the genome along the nuclear envelope. Importantly, we identified a functional role of Nup93 in silencing of Polycomb target genes and in spatial folding of Polycomb domains. Our findings lend to a model where different nuclear pores bind different types of chromatin via interactions with specific NPC sub-complexes, and a subset of Polycomb domains is stabilized by interactions with Nup93.

Abstract
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are gateways through the nuclear envelope. How they form into a structure containing three rings and integrate into the nuclear envelope remains a challenging paradigm for coordinated assembly of macro-complexes. In vertebrates, the cytoplasmic and nucleoplasmic rings of NPCs are mostly formed by multiple copies of the Nup107-Nup160 complex, whereas the central, or inner ring is composed of Nup53, Nup93, Nup155 and the two paralogues Nup188 and Nup205. Inner ring assembly is only partially understood. Using in vitro nuclear assembly reactions, we show that direct pore membrane binding of Nup155 is crucial for NPC formation. Replacing full-length Nup155 with its N-terminal β-propeller allows assembly of the outer ring components to the NPC backbone that also contains Nup53. However, further assembly, especially recruitment of the Nup93 and Nup62 complexes, is blocked. Self-interaction between the N- and C-terminal domains of Nup155 has an auto-inhibitory function that prevents interaction between the N-terminus of Nup155 and the C-terminal region of Nup53. Nup93 can overcome this block by binding to Nup53, thereby promoting formation of the inner ring and the NPC.

Abstract
Background The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates nuclear transport of RNA and proteins into and out of the nucleus. Certain nucleoporins have additional functions in chromatin organization and transcription regulation. Nup93 is a scaffold nucleoporin at the nuclear pore complex which is associated with human chromosomes 5, 7 and 16 and with the promoters of the HOXA gene as revealed by ChIP-on-chip studies using tiling microarrays for these chromosomes. However, the functional consequences of the association of Nup93 with HOXA is unknown. Results Here, we examined the association of Nup93 with the HOXA gene cluster and its consequences on HOXA gene expression in diploid colorectal cancer cells (DLD1). Nup93 showed a specific enrichment ~1 Kb upstream of the transcription start site of each of the HOXA1, HOXA3 and HOXA5 promoters, respectively. Furthermore, the association of Nup93 with HOXA was assisted by its interacting partners Nup188 and Nup205. The depletion of the Nup93 sub-complex significantly upregulated HOXA gene expression levels. However, expression levels of a control gene locus (GLCCI1) on human chromosome 7 were unaffected. Three-dimensional fluorescence in situ hybridization (3D-FISH) analyses revealed that the depletion of the Nup93 sub-complex (but not Nup98) disengages the HOXA gene locus from the nuclear periphery, suggesting a potential role for Nup93 in tethering and repressing the HOXA gene cluster. Consistently, Nup93 knockdown increased active histone marks (H3K9ac), decreased repressive histone marks (H3K27me3) on the HOXA1 promoter and increased transcription elongation marks (H3K36me3) within the HOXA1 gene. Moreover, the combined depletion of Nup93 and CTCF (a known organizer of HOXA gene cluster) but not Nup93 alone, significantly increased GLCCI1 gene expression levels. Taken together, this suggests a novel role for Nup93 and its interactors in repressing the HOXA gene cluster. Conclusions This study reveals that the nucleoporin Nup93 assisted by its interactors Nup188 and Nup205 mediates the repression of HOXA gene expression.
