We use the slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum, known for its ability to tolerate extreme changes in osmolarity, to assess which role nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) play in achieving nuclear volume adaptation and relieving mechanical stress. We capitalize on the unique properties of D. discoideum to quantify fluid flow across NPCs. D. discoideum has an elaborate NPC structure in situ. Its dilation state affects NPC permeability for nucleocytosolic flow. Based on mathematical concepts adapted from hydrodynamics, we conceptualize this phenomenon as porous flow across NPCs, which is distinct from canonically characterized modes of nucleocytoplasmic transport because of its dependence on pressure. Viral NPC blockage decreased nucleocytosolic flow. Our results may be relevant for any biological conditions that entail rapid nuclear size adaptation, including metastasizing cancer cells, migrating cells, or differentiating tissues. |
