Figure 9. NPM1 sensing for nucleolar stress.
Nucleolar oxidation is a general response to various cellular stresses. During nucleolar oxidation, NPM1 undergoes S-glutathionylation on Cys275, which triggers the dissociation of NPM1 from nucleolar nucleic acids. The nucleoplasmic NPM1 is indispensible for p53 activation induced by nucleolar stress.
