P.498 left column 2nd paragraph: "Reaching the nuclear periphery is the first step on the way out of the nucleus. Once mRNPs have reached the nuclear periphery, they have to encounter an NPC, interact with its structure and get access to the pore. Thus encountering a nuclear pore is the next step. The surface of the inner nuclear membrane is densely packed with nuclear pore complexes. Cyro-EM studies in yeast have shown that a G1 cell nucleus contains about 90 NPCs [primary source]." |
