A spectrum of high-risk leukemias is caused by recurrent chromosomal translocations that result in the expression of fusion proteins. The oncogenic properties of one such fusion, NUP98-HOXA9, are linked to its ability to self-associate and function through aberrantly phase-separated onco-condensates.
A spectrum of high-risk leukemias is caused by recurrent chromosomal translocations that result in the expression of fusion proteins. In a recent article in Nature, it has been demonstrated that the oncogenic properties of one such fusion, NUP98-HOXA9, are linked to its ability to self-associate and function through aberrantly phase-separated onco-condensates.
