Phase-separated nuclear bodies of nucleoporin fusions, SET-NUP214 and NUP98-HOXA9, promote condensation of MLL1 and CRM1 to activate target genes

M. Oka, M. Otani, Y. Miyamoto, J. Adachi, T. Tomonaga, M. Asally, Y. Ohkawa, Y. Yoneda

This study shows that nucleoporin fusions form phase-separated nuclear bodies that enhance gene activation by condensing MLL1 and CRM1 at target loci.

SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 disturbs nucleocytoplasmic trafficking to advance the viral replication

Y. Miyamoto, Y. Itoh, T. Suzuki, T. Tanaka, Y. Sakai, M. Koido, C. Hata, C.-X. Wan, M. Otani, K. Moriishi, T. Tachibana, Y. Kamatani, Y. Yoneda, T. Okamoto, M. Oka

This study shows SARS-CoV-2 ORF6 disrupts nucleocytoplasmic trafficking by inhibiting STAT1 nuclear translocation and binding importin 1, enhancing viral replication, particularly in older individuals.
