Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is frequently mutated in acute myeloid leukemia, and NPM1 expression is elevated in several cancer types. NPM1 is a multifunctional oligomeric protein involved in numerous cellular functions that include participating in liquid-liquid phase separation, ribosome biogenesis, chaperoning of histones, and modulation of transcription. In this review, we discuss the underappreciated role of NPM1 in DNA damage repair, specifically Polη-mediated translesion synthesis, base excision, and homologous recombination and highlight the therapeutic potential of NPM1 targeting in cancer treatment.
核仁磷酸蛋白(Nucleophosmin,NPM1)在急性髓系白血病中经常发生突变,并且在几种癌症类型中表达升高。NPM1 是一种多功能寡聚蛋白,参与多种细胞功能,包括参与液-液相分离、核糖体生物发生、组蛋白伴侣和转录调节。在这篇综述中,我们讨论了 NPM1 在 DNA 损伤修复中的作用,特别是 Polη 介导的跨损伤合成、碱基切除和同源重组,并强调了针对 NPM1 在癌症治疗中的治疗潜力。
