This study provides good evidence for the probable mechanism of the defect, involving nuclear import of an IAA-type repressor. This study is also the first to show mRNA accumulation in a plant Nup mutant.

Plant Cell 19 (2007) 1537-1548. This study is the first to demonstrate that plants have a functional ortholog of Tpr/Mlp1/Mlp2/Megator, that it affects nuclear mRNA and SUMO-conjugate accumulation, and that it interacts with the SUMO protease ESD4. In addition, it provides the first example of a viable Tpr/Mlp1/Mlp2/Megator null mutant in a multicellular organism.

The authors have identified a novel type of nuclear pore associated proteins, which appear specific for plants. They show that they are involved in anchoring RanGAP to the nuclear pore in specific cell types, in a mechanism fundamentally different from that in animals.
