Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review seeks to identify and describe novel genetic and protein targets and their associated therapeutics currently being used or studied in the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). RECENT FINDINGS Over the course of the last 5-6 years, several targeted therapies have been approved by the FDA, for the treatment of both newly diagnosed as well as relapsed/refractory AML. These novel therapeutics, as well as several others currently under investigation, have demonstrated activity in AML and have improved outcomes for many patients. Patient outcomes in AML have slowly improved over time, though for many patients, particularly elderly patients or those with relapsed/refractory disease, mortality remains very high. With the identification of several molecular/genetic drivers and protein targets and development of therapeutics which leverage those mechanisms to target leukemic cells, outcomes for patients with AML have improved and continue to improve significantly.

Asymmetrical localization of Nup107-160 subcomplex components within the nuclear pore complex in fission yeast. PLoS Genet 2019; 15:e1008061. [PMID: 31170156 PMCID: PMC6553703 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1008061] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2018] [Accepted: 03/01/2019] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) forms a gateway for nucleocytoplasmic transport. The outer ring protein complex of the NPC (the Nup107-160 subcomplex in humans) is a key component for building the NPC. Nup107-160 subcomplexes are believed to be symmetrically localized on the nuclear and cytoplasmic sides of the NPC. However, in S. pombe immunoelectron and fluorescence microscopic analyses revealed that the homologous components of the human Nup107-160 subcomplex had an asymmetrical localization: constituent proteins spNup132 and spNup107 were present only on the nuclear side (designated the spNup132 subcomplex), while spNup131, spNup120, spNup85, spNup96, spNup37, spEly5 and spSeh1 were localized only on the cytoplasmic side (designated the spNup120 subcomplex), suggesting the complex was split into two pieces at the interface between spNup96 and spNup107. This contrasts with the symmetrical localization reported in other organisms. Fusion of spNup96 (cytoplasmic localization) with spNup107 (nuclear localization) caused cytoplasmic relocalization of spNup107. In this strain, half of the spNup132 proteins, which interact with spNup107, changed their localization to the cytoplasmic side of the NPC, leading to defects in mitotic and meiotic progression similar to an spNup132 deletion strain. These observations suggest the asymmetrical localization of the outer ring spNup132 and spNup120 subcomplexes of the NPC is necessary for normal cell cycle progression in fission yeast. The nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) form gateways to transport intracellular molecules between the nucleus and the cytoplasm across the nuclear envelope. The Nup107-160 subcomplex, that forms nuclear and cytoplasmic outer rings, is a key complex responsible for building the NPC by symmetrical localization on the nuclear and cytoplasmic sides of the nuclear pore. This structural characteristic was found in various organisms including humans and budding yeasts, and therefore believed to be common among “all” eukaryotes. However, in this paper, we revealed an asymmetrical localization of the homologous components of the human Nup107-160 subcomplex in fission yeast by immunoelectron and fluorescence microscopic analyses: in this organism, the Nup107-160 subcomplex is split into two pieces, and each of the split pieces is differentially distributed to the nuclear and cytoplasmic side of the NPC: one piece is only in the nuclear side while the other piece is only in the cytoplasmic side. This contrasts with the symmetrical localization reported in other organisms. In addition, we confirmed that the asymmetrical configuration of the outer ring structure is necessary for cell cycle progression in fission yeast. This study provides notions of diverse structures and functions of NPCs evolved in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Reassembly of the nuclear pore complex (NPC) at the end of mitosis is an important event for eukaryotic nuclear function. In this study, we examined the dynamic behaviors of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) by "Live CLEM" imaging. In metaphase, numerous fenestrations on the ER membrane were observed around chromosomes. In telophase, these fenestrations became filled at the region attached to chromosomes, whereas they remained open at the region unattached to chromosomes, suggesting that NPC assembly takes place at fenestrations on the membrane. To determine the roles of nucleoporins in postmitotic NPC formation, we used artificial beads conjugated with anti-GFP antibody, which captures GFP-fused proteins on the beads when incorporated into cells. Live CLEM imaging of telophase cells containing Nup133-coated beads or Nup153-coated beads showed that Nup133 and Nup153, as the sole effector molecules, assembled the NPC-like structure on the membrane fenestrations. Indirect immunofluorescence staining of the Nup133-coated beads showed that Nup133 effectively assembled Nup107 and ELYS, whereas minimal assembly of Nup98 and Nup62 was observed; the Nup153-coated bead effectively assembled Nup98, Nup62 and Pom121, but assembled neither Nup107 nor ELYS. Our results suggest that Nup133 and Nup153 play different roles in assembling the NPC on membrane fenestrations.

Abstract
The nuclear pore complex (NPC), a gateway for nucleocytoplasmic trafficking, is composed of ∼30 different proteins called nucleoporins. It remains unknown whether the NPCs within a species are homogeneous or vary depending on the cell type or physiological condition. Here, we present evidence for compositionally distinct NPCs that form within a single cell in a binucleated ciliate. In Tetrahymena thermophila, each cell contains both a transcriptionally active macronucleus (MAC) and a germline micronucleus (MIC). By combining in silico analysis, mass spectrometry analysis for immuno-isolated proteins and subcellular localization analysis of GFP-fused proteins, we identified numerous novel components of MAC and MIC NPCs. Core members of the Nup107-Nup160 scaffold complex were enriched in MIC NPCs. Strikingly, two paralogs of Nup214 and of Nup153 localized exclusively to either the MAC or MIC NPCs. Furthermore, the transmembrane components Pom121 and Pom82 localize exclusively to MAC and MIC NPCs, respectively. Our results argue that functional nuclear dimorphism in ciliates is likely to depend on the compositional and structural specificity of NPCs.

Abstract
The nucleoporin 98 gene (NUP98) is fused to a variety of partner genes in multiple hematopoietic malignancies. Here, we demonstrate that NUP98 fusion proteins, including NUP98-HOXA9 (NHA9), NUP98-HOXD13 (NHD13), NUP98-NSD1, NUP98-PHF23, and NUP98-TOP1 physically interact with mixed lineage leukemia 1 (MLL1) and the non-specific lethal (NSL) histone-modifying complexes. Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing illustrates that NHA9 and MLL1 co-localize on chromatin and are found associated with Hox gene promoter regions. Furthermore, MLL1 is required for the proliferation of NHA9 cells in vitro and in vivo. Inactivation of MLL1 leads to decreased expression of genes bound by NHA9 and MLL1 and reverses a gene expression signature found in NUP98-rearranged human leukemias. Our data reveal a molecular dependency on MLL1 function in NUP98-fusion-driven leukemogenesis.

Abstract
Essential nucleoporins Nup98 and Nup96 are coded by a single open reading frame, and produced by autopeptidase cleavage. The autocleavage site of Nup98-Nup96 is highly conserved in a wide range of organisms. To understand the importance of autocleavage, we examined a mutant that produces the Nup98-Nup96 joint molecule as a sole protein product of the nup189 (+) gene in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Cells expressing only the joint molecule were found to be viable. This result indicates that autocleavage of Nup98-Nup96 is dispensable for cell growth, at least under normal culture conditions in S. pombe.

Abstract
The nuclear pore complex (NPC) is an enormous proteinaceous complex composed of multiple copies of about 30 different proteins called nucleoporins. In this study, we analyzed the composition of the NPC in the model organism Schizosaccharomyces pombe using strains in which individual nucleoporins were tagged with GFP. We identified 31 proteins as nucleoporins by their localization to the nuclear periphery. Gene disruption analysis in previous studies coupled with gene disruption analysis in the present study indicates that 15 of these nucleoporins are essential for vegetative cell growth and the other 16 nucleoporins are non-essential. Among the 16 non-essential nucleoporins, 11 are required for normal progression through meiosis and their disruption caused abnormal spore formation or poor spore viability. Based on fluorescence measurements of GFP-fused nucleoporins, we estimated the composition of the NPC in S. pombe and found that the organization of the S. pombe NPC is largely similar to that of other organisms; a single NPC was estimated as being 45.8–47.8 MDa in size. We also used fluorescence measurements of single NPCs and quantitative western blotting to analyze the composition of the Nup107-Nup160 subcomplex, which plays an indispensable role in NPC organization and function. Our analysis revealed low amounts of Nup107 and Nup131 and high amounts of Nup132 in the Nup107-Nup160 subcomplex, suggesting that the composition of this complex in S. pombe may differ from that in S. cerevisiae and humans. Comparative analysis of NPCs in various organisms will lead to a comprehensive understanding of the functional architecture of the NPC.
