The Nup107–160 multiprotein subcomplex is essential for the assembly of nuclear pore
complexes. The developmental functions of individual constituents of this subcomplex in
vertebrates remain elusive. In particular, it is unknown whether Nup107 plays an important
role in development of vertebrate embryos. Zebrafish nup107 is maternally expressed and
its zygotic expression becomes prominent in the head region and the intestine from 24 h
postfertilization (hpf) onward. In this study, we generate a zebrafish mutant line, nup107 …
