NUP98 and RAE1 support epidermal progenitor maintenance through binding to chromatin near the transcription start sites of key target genes such as the epigenetic repressor DNMT1. NUP98 and RAE1’s roles in progenitor maintenance depend on two factors: high expression and HDAC activity. The high expression of NUP98 and RAE1 provides the chromatin-binding pool, in addition to their nuclear-pore incorporation; HDAC activity supports NUP98’s binding on chromatin near the TSSs of key target genes, antagonizing the nucleolar localization of NUP98 and RAE1.
