A powerful new discovery reveals that Nup98 a protein once thought to only ferry molecules through the nucleus plays a vital role in safeguarding the most vulnerable areas of DNA. By forming ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have a new understanding of how a group of well-known fusion oncoproteins causes leukemia. The findings show the importance of liquid-liquid phase ...
When blood cancer in children progresses particularly aggressively, it is often due to a genetic defect: a gene fusion, such as the NUP98 fusion oncoprotein, which drives uncontrolled cell growth.
USC Dornsife researchers discover that “condensates” formed by the protein Nup98 help cells avoid catastrophic errors when repairing breaks in tightly packed DNA, a finding with implications for ...
When DNA breaks inside the cell, it can spell disaster, especially if the damage occurs in areas of the genome that are difficult to repair. Now, scientists Irene Chiolo and Chiara Merigliano at the ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute say they have discovered in mouse cells a previously unknown function for the Nup98 protein. Not only does it help control the movement of molecules in and out of the ...
