The rest, which can be considered a scaffold proteins remain stable, as cylindrical ring complexes within the nuclear envelope.
This disassembly of the NPC peripheral groups is largely thought to be phosphate driven, as several of these nucleoporins are phosphorylated during the stages of mitosis.
In metazoans ( which undergo open mitosis ) the NE degrades quickly after the loss of the peripheral Nups.
This change may make the NPC more permeable to enzymes involved in the degradation of the NE such as cytoplasmic tubulin, as well as allowing the entry of key mitotic regulator proteins.
