The nuclear pore complex (NPC) mediates nearly all exchanges between nucleus and cytoplasm, and changes composition in many species as the organism ages. However, how these changes arise and whether they contribute themselves to aging is poorly understood. We show that in replicatively aging yeast cells attachment of DNA circles to NPCs drives the displacement of the NPCs’ nuclear basket and cytoplasmic complexes. Remodeling of the NPC resulted from the regulation of basket components by SAGA, rather than from damages. These changes affected NPC interaction with mRNA export factors, without affecting the residence of import factors or engaging the NPC quality control machinery. Mutations preventing NPC remodeling extended the replicative lifespan of the cells. Thus, our data indicate that DNA circles accumulating in the mother cell drive aging at least in part by triggering NPC specialization. We suggest that antagonistic pleiotropic effects of NPC specialization are key drivers of aging.

AbstractMechanisms that ensure the integrity of the nuclear envelope rely on membrane remodeling proteins like the ESCRTs and the AAA ATPase Vps4, which help seal the nuclear envelope at the end of mitosis and prevent the formation of defective nuclear pore complexes (NPCs). Here, we show that the integral inner nuclear membrane proteins Heh1 and Heh2 directly bind the ESCRT-III, Snf7, and the ESCRT-II/III chimera, Chm7, in their ‘open’ forms. Moreover, Heh1 is required for Chm7-recruitment to the nuclear envelope. As Chm7 accumulates on the nuclear envelope upon blocks to NPC assembly, but not to nuclear transport, interactions between ESCRTs and the Heh proteins might form a biochemically distinct nuclear envelope subdomain that delimits regions of assembling NPCs. Interestingly, deletion of CHM7 suppresses the formation of the storage of improperly assembled NPC compartment prevalent in vps4Δ strains. Thus, our data support that the Heh1-dependent recruitment of Chm7 is a key component of a quality control pathway whose local regulation by Vps4 and the transmembrane nup, Pom152, prevents loss of nuclear compartmentalization by defective NPCs.

The nuclear envelope is a complex membrane structure that forms the boundary of the nuclear compartment in eukaryotes. It regulates the passage of macromolecules between the two compartments and may be important for organizing interphase chromosome architecture. In interphase animal cells it forms a remarkably stable structure consisting of a double membrane ouerlying a protein meshwork or lamina and penetrated by nuclear pore complexes. The latter form the channels for nucleocytoplasmic exchange of macromolecules, At the onset of mitosis, however, it rapidly disassembles, the membranes fragment to yield small vesicles and the lamina, which is composed of predominantly three polypeptides, lamins R, B and C (MW approx. 74, 68 and 65 kDa respectiuely), breaks down. Lamins B and C are dispersed as monomers throughout the mitotic cytoplasm, while lamin B remains associated with the nuclear membrane vesicles.
