NUP98 fusion proteins and KMT2A-MENIN antagonize PRC1.1 to drive gene expression in AML.
Control of stem cell-associated genes by Trithorax group (TrxG) and Polycomb group (PcG) proteins is frequently misregulated in cancer. In leukemia, oncogenic fusion proteins hijack the TrxG homolog KMT2A and disrupt PcG activity to maintain pro-leukemogenic gene expression, though the mechanisms by which oncofusion proteins antagonize PcG proteins remain unclear. Here, we define the relationship between NUP98 oncofusion proteins and the non-canonical polycomb repressive complex 1.1 (PRC1.1) in leukemia using Menin-KMT2A inhibitors and targeted degradation of NUP98 fusion proteins. Eviction of the NUP98 fusion-Menin-KMT2A complex from chromatin is not sufficient to silence pro-leukemogenic genes. In the absence of PRC1.1, key oncogenes remain transcriptionally active. Transition to a repressed chromatin state requires the accumulation of PRC1.1 and repressive histone modifications. We show that PRC1.1 loss leads to resistance to small-molecule Menin-KMT2A inhibitors in vivo. Therefore, a critical function of oncofusion proteins that hijack Menin-KMT2A activity is antagonizing repressive chromatin complexes.
期刊介绍:
Cell Reports publishes high-quality research across the life sciences and focuses on new biological insight as its primary criterion for publication. The journal offers three primary article types: Reports, which are shorter single-point articles, research articles, which are longer and provide deeper mechanistic insights, and resources, which highlight significant technical advances or major informational datasets that contribute to biological advances. Reviews covering recent literature in emerging and active fields are also accepted.
The Cell Reports Portfolio includes gold open-access journals that cover life, medical, and physical sciences, and its mission is to make cutting-edge research and methodologies available to a wide readership.
The journal's professional in-house editors work closely with authors, reviewers, and the scientific advisory board, which consists of current and future leaders in their respective fields. The advisory board guides the scope, content, and quality of the journal, but editorial decisions are independently made by the in-house scientific editors of Cell Reports.
