Abstract

Coyne et al. demonstrate that G4C2 repeat RNA initiates a reduction of POM121 expression within C9orf72 neuronal nuclear pore complexes. Decreased nuclear POM121 affects the expression of seven additional nucleoporins, resulting in altered nuclear pore composition. This combined nucleoporin reduction affects the localization of nucleocytoplasmic transport proteins and neuronal survival.
