Mechanistic insights into chromatin targeting by leukemic NUP98-PHF23 fusion

Chromosomal NUP98-PHF23 translocation is associated with an aggressive form of AML. Here, the authors report the molecular mechanisms by which NUP98-PHF23 recognizes the histone mark H3K4me3 and provide evidence of a direct link between the association of NUP98-PHD finger chimeras with H3K4me3-rich...

Description
Summary:Chromosomal NUP98-PHF23 translocation is associated with an aggressive form of AML. Here, the authors report the molecular mechanisms by which NUP98-PHF23 recognizes the histone mark H3K4me3 and provide evidence of a direct link between the association of NUP98-PHD finger chimeras with H3K4me3-rich regions and leukemic transformation.
