The nuclear pore complex protein NUP88 is frequently elevated in aggressive human cancers and correlates with reduced patient survival; however, it is unclear whether and how NUP88 overexpression drives tumorigenesis. Here, we show that mice overexpressing NUP88 are cancer prone and form intestinal tumors. To determine whether overexpression of NUP88 drives tumorigenesis, we engineered transgenic mice with doxycycline-inducible expression of

NUP98-RAE1 protects de novo synthesized securin from APC/CCDH1-mediated degradation in the G2 phase, and NUP88 overexpression perturbs this protective mechanism.
