Mechanistic insights into chromatin targeting by leukemic NUP98-PHF23 fusion


ABSTRACT: The dysregulation of plant homeodomain (PHD) fingers has been implicated in several human diseases, including cancer. In a subset of aggressive acute myeloid leukemia (AML), chromosomal translocations that involve nucleoporin 98 (NUP98), a component of the nuclear pore complex, and a PHD finger-containing protein, such as KDM5A/JARID1A, PHF23 and BPTF, generate potent oncoproteins (namely NUP98-KDM5A, NUP98-PHF23 and NUP98-BPTF; or together termed as NUP98-PHD fusions) that are able to arrest hematopoietic differentiation and induce acute myeloid leukemia in murine models. In these processes, a PHD finger that specifically recognizes H3K4me3/2 marks was essential for leukemogenesis. Mutations in PHD fingers that abrogated H3K4me3 binding also abolished leukemic transformation. An overlap of NUP98-KDM5A oncoprotein binding sites and H3K4me3-positive loci at the Hoxa/b gene clusters and Meis1 in ChIP-seq together with NMR analysis of the H3K4me3-binding sites of the PHD fingers from PHF23, KDM5A and BPTF suggests a common PHD finger-dependent mechanism that promotes leukemogenesis by this type of NUP98-PHD finger fusions. Disulfiram (DS), a small molecule compound that directly targets the PHD finger, shows anti-proliferation effects in AML cells expressing NUP98-PHD through the conserved inhibitory mechanism. Our findings highlight the direct correlation between the abilities of NUP98-PHD finger fusion chimeras to associate with H3K4me3-enriched chromatin and leukemic transformation.
