NUP98 fuses with approximately 34 different partner genes via translocation in hematological malignancies. Transgenic or retrovirus-mediated bone marrow transplanted mouse models reveal the leukemogenesis of some NUP98-related fusion genes. We previously reported the fusion protein NUP98-IQ motif containing G (IQCG) in a myeloid/T lymphoid bi-phenoleukemia patient with t(3;11) and confirmed its leukemogenic ability. Herein, we demonstrated the association of NUP98-IQCG with CRM1, and found that NUP98-IQCG expression inhibits the CRM1-mediated nuclear export of p65 and enhances the transcriptional activity of nuclear factor-κB. Moreover, IQCG could be entrapped in the nucleus by NUP98-IQCG, and the fusion protein interacts with calmodulin via the IQ motif in a calcium-independent manner. Therefore, the inhibition of nuclear exports of p65 and IQCG might contribute to the leukemogenesis of NUP98-IQCG.
在血液系统恶性肿瘤中,NUP98通过易位与大约34种不同的伙伴基因融合。转基因或逆转录病毒介导的骨髓移植小鼠模型揭示了一些NUP98相关融合基因的白血病发生机制。我们之前报道了一名患有t(3;11)的髓系/T淋巴细胞双表型白血病患者中的融合蛋白NUP98-含IQ模体的G蛋白(IQCG),并证实了其致白血病能力。在此,我们证明了NUP98-IQCG与CRM1的关联,发现NUP98-IQCG的表达抑制了CRM1介导的p65核输出,并增强了核因子κB的转录活性。此外,IQCG可被NUP98-IQCG截留在细胞核中,并且该融合蛋白通过IQ模体以不依赖钙的方式与钙调蛋白相互作用。因此,p65和IQCG核输出的抑制可能有助于NUP98-IQCG的白血病发生。
