Evolutionary diversification of the nuclear pore complex in Entamoeba histolytica reveals conserved and lineage-specific nucleoporins

Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are the gateways for macromolecular exchange between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Although NPC architecture is broadly conserved across eukaryotes, substantial lineage-specific diversification has emerged, particularly among divergent protists. Here, we investigated the NPC of Entamoeba hist...
