What's a GeneRIF?

During nuclear assembly, MEL-28 recruits PP1c to the periphery of decondensed chromatin, where it directs formation of a functional nuclear compartment. Thus, a pool of phosphatase activity associated with a kinetochore-localized nucleoporin contributes to two key events that occur during M-phase exit in metazoans: kinetochore disassembly and nuclear reassembly.

the cell can exit the division without reforming the nuclear envelope to uncover an intriguing role of the nucleoporin MEL-28 in mediating chromosome segregation via its interaction with PP1 at the kinetochore
Title: A Nucleoporin at the Meiotic Kinetochore.
MEL-28/ELYS is required for the recruitment of nucleoporins to chromatin and acts as a seeding point for postmitotic nuclear pore complex assembly.
