The nuclear envelope (NE) separates the nucleoplasm from the cytoplasm in all eukaryotic cells. The plant NE displays a similar structure but different protein compositions compared with the animal NE. Here the researchers identify ~200 protein candidates that reside in the NE of Arabidopsis cells. Among the candidates, they characterize a critical protein that is associated with the nuclear pore complex.
