NUP98|[ndash]|NSD1 links H3K36 methylation to Hox-A gene activation and leukaemogenesis

Gang G. Wang , Ling Cai , Martina P. Pasillas & Mark P. Kamps

Nuclear receptor-binding SET domain protein 1 (NSD1) prototype is a family of mammalian histone methyltransferases (NSD1, NSD2/MMSET/WHSC1, NSD3/WHSC1L1) that are essential in development and are mutated in human acute myeloid leukemia (AML), overgrowth syndromes, multiple myeloma and lung cancers. In AML, the recurring t(5;11)(q35;p15.5) translocation fuses NSD1 to nucleoporin-98 (NUP98).
