MUC1-C oncoprotein binds directly to the Nup62 central domain (and indirectly to the Nup62 C-terminal coiled-coil domain) for nuclear import; oligomerization via a CQC motif is required for Nup62 binding, and CQC→AQA mutation abrogates oligomerization, Nup62 binding, and nuclear localization of MUC1-C. |

The glucocorticoid receptor (GR)-hsp90 chaperone heterocomplex interacts with Nup62 at the nuclear pore to mediate GR nuclear import; GR cross-linked to the hsp90 heterocomplex can translocate to the nucleus in digitonin-permeabilized cells. FKBP52 and PP5 binding to Nup62 is hsp90-dependent, while hsp70 and p23 binding does not require hsp90. |

NUP62 is depleted from nuclei and mislocalizes to the cytoplasm in C9-ALS/FTLD iPSC neurons; cytoplasmic NUP62 interacts with TDP-43, promoting TDP-43 insolubility and inclusion formation. Poly-GR DPR accumulation triggers formation of cytoplasmic RNA granules that recruit both NUP62 and TDP-43. NUP62:TDP-43 inclusions are found in postmortem C9orf72 ALS/FTLD and sporadic ALS/FTLD CNS tissue. |

Phosphorylation of NUP62 at a FAK/PYK2 consensus site (human Y422/rat Y425) by PYK2 is associated with shedding of NUP62 from the nuclear pore complex and/or retention in the cytoplasm. Depletion of Nup62 from hippocampal and cortical neurons causes simplification and retraction of dendritic arbors without disrupting axon initial segment integrity. |

The coiled-coil domain of Nup62 is sufficient for interaction with the coiled-coil domain of Exo70, demonstrating a chain replacement mechanism enabling diverse protein assemblies. |

NUP62 depletion causes defective spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC); depletion causes slight decrease in MAD2 protein levels after nocodazole but does not affect kinetochore localization of BUBR1, MAD1, or MAD2. NUP62 depletion in neural stem cells induces aneuploidy. Overexpression of the disease mutant NUP62(Q391P) also causes SAC defects, indicating Q391 is critical for SAC function. |

In Drosophila premeiotic spermatocytes, Cyclin B (CycB) forms a protein complex with Exportin (Emb) and Nup62; CycB must be exported from the nucleus via this complex (interacting with Nup62 channel subcomplex) to enable CDK1 activation and meiotic entry. Depletion of Nup62 traps CycB in nuclei and blocks CDK1 activation; ectopic CycB overexpression partially rescues the meiotic block. |

NUP62 overexpression stabilizes NUP88 by inhibiting proteasome-mediated degradation of Nup88; the Nup88-Nup62 interaction is independent of Nup glycosylation status and cell-cycle stage. Stabilized Nup88 interacts with NF-κB (p65) and partially sequesters it into the nucleus of unstimulated cells, inducing NF-κB target genes (Akt, c-myc, IL-6, BIRC3). |

During post-mitotic NPC assembly, degrading Nup62 arrests assembly at an intermediate step with smaller membrane pores and removes the whole central transport channel; 32 copies of the central channel subcomplex self-associate via hydrophobic interactions to occupy the pore center and exert an outward pushing force for full pore dilation. Disrupting these hydrophobic interactions during assembly blocked pore dilation, impaired nuclear import, and caused smaller nuclei and looser NE spacing. |
