Chm7 and Heh1 collaborate to link nuclear pore complex quality control with nuclear envelope sealing

BM Webster, DJ Thaller, J Jäger, SE Ochmann… - The EMBO …, 2016 - embopress.org
… Because the SINC is filled with newly synthesized nups that lead to the formation of defective
NPCs (Webster et al, 2014), we hypothesized that Chm7's enrichment in the SINC reflected …

[PDF][PDF] The hyaluronidase, TMEM2, promotes ER homeostasis and longevity independent of the UPRER

…, O Shalem, EA Moehle, BM Webster… - Cell, 2019 - cell.com
Cells have evolved complex mechanisms to maintain protein homeostasis, such as the
UPR ER , which are strongly associated with several diseases and the aging process. We …

The transmission of nuclear pore complexes to daughter cells requires a cytoplasmic pool of Nsp1

P Colombi, BM Webster, F Fröhlich, CP Lusk - Journal of Cell Biology, 2013 - rupress.org
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are essential protein assemblies that span the nuclear
envelope and establish nuclear–cytoplasmic compartmentalization. We have investigated …

Border safety: quality control at the nuclear envelope

BM Webster, CP Lusk - Trends in cell biology, 2016 - cell.com
The unique biochemical identity of the nuclear envelope confers its capacity to establish a
barrier that protects the nuclear compartment and directly contributes to nuclear function. …
