Despite being frequently mutated or deregulated in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and many other cancers, the mechanisms by which nucleophosmin (NPM1) regulates oncogenesis remain elusive. We found that NPM1 plays a direct and conserved role in DNA damage-induced assembly of the PIDDosome complex, the activating platform for caspase-2. This function is carried in the nucleolus and is essential for caspase-2-mediated apoptosis in response to a variety of DNA injuries.

The PIDDosome (PIDD-RAIDD-caspase-2 complex) is considered to be the primary signaling platform for caspase-2 activation in response to genotoxic stress. Yet studies of PIDD-deficient mice show that caspase-2 activation can proceed in the absence of PIDD. Here we show that DNA damage induces the assembly of at least two distinct activation platforms for caspase-2: a cytoplasmic platform that is RAIDD dependent but PIDD independent, and a nucleolar platform that requires both PIDD and RAIDD.
