Background

Nucleoporin 98 and 96 precursor (NUP98) is a large nuclear pore scaffold precursor protein encoded by the NUP98 gene, translated as a single polypeptide cleaved into NUP98 and NUP96 subunits, localized to nuclear pore complex (NPC) and mitotic spindle microtubules. Distinct from smaller FG nucleoporins, NUP98 acts as a core architectural scaffold linking inner and outer NPC rings, while coordinating spindle microtubule anchoring during cell division. Under interphase conditions, mature NUP98 maintains selective nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of transcription factors and mRNA transcripts. Upon mitotic nuclear envelope breakdown, soluble NUP98 fragments associate with spindle fibers to support faithful chromosome segregation. Unlike transport-only nucleoporins, NUP98 carries dual structural and mitotic functions that cannot be fully substituted by other NPC components, linking nuclear pore assembly to cell cycle progression pathways. Loss of functional NUP98 disrupts nucleocytoplasmic transport and induces mitotic errors, while NUP98 fusion oncoproteins drive hematopoietic malignancy, establishing NUP98 as a core research target for nuclear pore biology and leukemic compound screening.

NUP98 executes multi-domain scaffold function anchored within nuclear pore superstructures, utilizing N-terminal FG repeats and C-terminal coiled-coil domains to bridge nucleoporin subcomplexes. Conserved flexible FG motifs facilitate karyopherin cargo translocation through NPC channels. NUP98-mediated scaffold assembly bridges nuclear envelope architecture and cell cycle spindle regulation, balancing nucleocytoplasmic transport throughput and mitotic fidelity according to proliferative state. NUP98 participates in mRNA export, transcription factor shuttling and metaphase chromosome alignment. Deficient NUP98 expression collapses nuclear pore architecture and impairs cell cycle progression. Therefore, NUP98 represents a pivotal research target for nucleoporin study and hematopoietic tumor screening.

NUP98 Protein Function: Core Roles in NPC Scaffolding and Mitotic Spindle Tuning

The biological functions of NUP98 are focused on nuclear pore assembly, karyopherin transport and mitotic control:

  • Nuclear Pore Scaffolding: Acts as core linker of inner and outer NPC ring subcomplexes.
  • FG-Mediated Cargo Transport: N-terminal FG repeats enable selective nucleocytoplasmic cargo shuttling.
  • Interphase Homeostasis: Sustains steady mRNA and transcription factor trafficking under resting cells.
  • Mitotic Spindle Regulation: Associates with microtubules to support accurate chromosome segregation.
  • Disease Relevance: NUP98 loss impairs nuclear transport; gene fusions drive hematopoietic oncogenic transformation.
