Abstract
Nucleoporin subunits that generate the nuclear pore complex (NPC) are highly conserved in evolution. High-resolution structures of the NPC are available, but the actual NPC composition in yeast has only been quantified recently. Two studies reveal major differences between species, suggesting high flexibility in NPC structures during evolution.
