    Abstract In addition to its structural role in enclosing and protecting the genome, the nuclear envelope (NE) forms a highly adaptive communication interface between the cytoplasm and the nuclear interior in eukaryotic cells. The double membrane of the NE is perforated by nuclear pores lined with large multi-protein structures, called nuclear-pore complexes (NPCs), which selectively allow the bi-directional transport of ions and macromolecular cargo. In order to nucleate a pore, the inner and outer nuclear membrane have to fuse at the site of NPC insertion, a process requiring both lipid bilayers to be deformed into highly curved structures. How this curvature is achieved and which factors are involved in inducing and stabilizing membrane curvature at the nuclear pore remain largely unclear. In this review, we will summarize the molecular mechanisms thought to be involved in membrane curvature generation, with a particular emphasis on the role of lipids and lipid metabolism in shaping the nuclear pore membrane.

    Abstract For many experimental biologists in the field of nuclear cell biology, low complexity repeats in nuclear proteins constitute a nuisance. They are difficult to express, impossible to crystalize and have low but near ubiquitous unwanted affinities toward many biomolecules. Examples of such nuclear protein repeats are RS (Arg-Ser) repeats in splicing factors, RGG (Arg-Gly-Gly) repeats in hnRNP proteins and FG (Phe-Gly) repeats in nuclear pore components. Here, I would like to present a more positive perspective for at least a subset of repeats and suggest that they are excellent candidates to have constituted the first proteins emerging from an RNA world.

    Abstract SMPD4 is a neutral sphingomyelinase implicated in a specific type of congenital microcephaly. Although not intensively studied, SMPD4 deficiency has also been found to cause cell division defects. This suggests a role for SMPD4 in cell-cycle and differentiation. In order to explore this role, we used proximity ligation to identify the partners of SMPD4 in vivo in HEK293T cells. We found that these partners localize near the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nuclear membrane. Using mass spectrometry, we could identify these partners and discovered that SMPD4 is closely associated with several nucleoporins, including NUP35, a nucleoporin directly involved in pore membrane curvature and pore insertion. This suggests that SMPD4 may play a role in this process.

    Abstract Objective: Examine the associations of training volume and longest endurance run with (half-)marathon performance and running-related injuries (RRIs) in recreational runners.
    Materials and methods: During the preparation for and directly after the running event, 556 participants of a half marathon and 441 participants of a marathon completed three questionnaires on RRIs, average weekly training volume and the longest endurance run. With finish time, decline in pace during the running event and RRIs as dependent variables, linear and logistic regression analyses were performed to test the associations with weekly training volume and the longest endurance run.
    Results: In half-marathon runners, a high training volume (>32 km/wk) (β -4.19, 95% CI: -6.52;-1.85) and a long endurance run (>21 km) (β -3.87, 95% CI: -6.31;--1.44) were associated with a faster finish time, while a high training volume (β -1.81, 95% CI: -3.49;-0.12) and a long endurance run (β -1.89, 95% CI: -3.65;-0.12) were also related to less decline in pace. In marathon runners, a low training volume (<40 km/wk) was related to a slower finish time (β 6.33, 95% CI: 0.18;12.48) and a high training volume (>65 km/wk) to a faster finish time (β -14.09, 95% CI: -22.47;-5.72), while a longest endurance run of <25 km was associated with a slower finish time (β 13.44, 95% CI: 5.34;21.55). No associations between training characteristics and RRIs were identified.
    Conclusions: Preparation for a (half-)marathon with a relatively high training volume and long endurance runs associates with a faster finish time, but does not seem related to an increased injury risk.

    Abstract Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are multiprotein complexes consisting of nucleoporins and function in transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. In yeast, nucleoporins have also been linked to gene expression as well as to chromatin insulating activity. Recently, we identified genomic regions that interact with nucleoporins in Drosophila using DamID technology. We found that nucleoporins in the nucleoplasm interact with active genes and stimulate gene expression. However, genes interacting with nucleoporins at the NPC itself show average gene expression and it remains unclear why they interact with the NPC. Here, we further investigated the function of the genome-NPC interactions. First, to investigate whether a different technique would lead to similar results, we compared our nucleoporin DamID data to recently published nucleoporin chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) data. Then, to further understand the function of interactions between the genome and NPCs, we analyzed the relationship between NPC-interacting genomic regions and chromatin insulators. We found that the insulator protein Su(Hw) was enriched within and near NPC-interacting genomic regions, suggesting a role of this protein in chromatin architecture close to the NPC. This suggests that the NPC may have a function in the structural organization of the genome.

    Abstract Elucidating genetic aberrations in pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) provides insight in biology and may impact on risk-group stratification and clinical outcome. This study aimed to detect such aberrations in a selected series of samples without known (cyto)genetic aberration using molecular profiling. A cohort of 161 patients was selected from various study groups: DCOG, BFM, SJCRH, NOPHO and AEIOP. Samples were analyzed using RNA sequencing (n=152), whole exome (n=135) and/or whole genome sequencing (n=100). In 70 of 156 patients (45%), of whom RNA sequencing or whole genome sequencing was available, rearrangements were detected, 22 of which were novel; five involving ERG rearrangements and four NPM1 rearrangements. ERG rearrangements showed self-renewal capacity in vitro, and a distinct gene expression pattern. Gene set enrichment analysis of this cluster showed upregulation of gene sets derived from Ewing sarcoma, which was confirmed comparing gene expression profiles of AML and Ewing sarcoma. Furthermore, NPM1-rearranged cases showed cytoplasmic NPM1 localization and revealed HOXA/B gene overexpression, as described for NPM1 mutated cases. Single-gene mutations as identified in adult AML were rare. Patients had a median of 24 coding mutations (range, 7-159). Novel recurrent mutations were detected in UBTF (n=10), a regulator of RNA transcription. In 75% of patients an aberration with a prognostic impact could be detected. Therefore, we suggest these techniques need to become standard of care in diagnostics.

    Abstract Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) mediate all selective bidirectional transport between the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Additional functions for NPCs and their constituent proteins (nucleoporins) are emerging, some independent of classical transport. Specifically, enzymatic activities at the NPC regulate nucleocytoplasmic transport and use the NPC as a regulatory scaffold. Also, nucleoporins may regulate gene expression by contacting chromatin. Discriminating between effects on transport, scaffolding, and gene expression is a major challenge in understanding the role of the NPC in signaling and development.

    Abstract Nucleoporins are the constituents of the nuclear pore complex, but they are also known to shuttle to the nuclear interior, the function of which is unclear. In a recent issue of Nature Cell Biology, Wang et al.'s mechanistic studies of leukemogenic fusion proteins that contain nucleoporins suggest that they have a direct role in transcription.
