The nuclear pore complex is a huge macromolecular structure (120 MDa in vertebrates). Although individual components of the nuclear pore have been identified at a molecular level, a major challenge in the field is to understand how these components cooperate to direct regulated, bi-directional movement of cargo. Each pore is estimated to guide the transport of over 100 molecules per minute. Yet, despite the “high through-put” nature of this process, transport occurs with specificity.
