Scientists Share Nuclear Secrets at Jekyll Island

Nuclear transport pathways use soluble receptors to mediate the translocation of protein and cargo through the nuclear pore complex (NPC). In October 2005, investigators from around the globe braved the threat of hurricane Wilma and presented their latest findings at the Nucleocytoplasmic Transport Meeting at Jekyll Island, GA, USA. The meeting was organized by Drs Maureen Powers, Chuck Cole, and Douglass Forbes. Major themes within the meeting included architecture of the NPC, structural analysis of receptors, regulation of nuclear transport, models for translocation, and emerging roles for the NPC and lamina in gene expression.
