Figure 8.

Model of Escapade Structure. Nuclear pore complexes (NPC), outer nuclear membrane (Outer), inner nuclear membrane (Inner), and Esc1p are indicated. The small circles at the surface of the membranes are ribosomes. The model has been drawn to illustrate a tight apposition of Esc1p layers within the escapade, which may account for the constant width that is observed with EM and the exclusion of chromatin.
