Abstract
In this issue, Frey and Görlich (2007) provide new insight into the selective barrier that controls protein traffic through the nuclear pore complex. They show that a single protein domain of the nuclear pore protein Nsp1 can form a hydrogel that allows highly selective access of nuclear transport receptors and their cargos, but rejects other proteins of similar size.
