ABSTRACT
Beyond their canonical function in nucleocytoplasmic exchanges, nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) regulate the expression of protein-coding genes. Here, we have implemented transcriptomic and molecular methods to specifically address impact NPC on retroelements, which are present multiple copies genomes. We report a novel for Nup84 complex, core building block, restricting transcription LTR-retrotransposons yeast. complex-dependent repression impacts both Copia Gypsy Ty LTR-retrotransposons, all over S . cerevisiae genome. Mechanistically, complex restricts Ty1, most active yeast retrotransposon, through tethering SUMO-deconjugating enzyme Ulp1 NPCs. Strikingly, modest accumulation Ty1 RNAs caused by loss-of-function is sufficient trigger an important increase cDNA levels, resulting massive retrotransposition. Altogether, our study expands understanding interactions between retrotransposons NPC, highlights importance cells keep under tight transcriptional control.
