The mechanisms behind acquired resistance to the proteasome inhibitor bortezomib in multiple myeloma remain to be elucidated. Here, the authors show that the histone methyltransferase NSD2 stabilized SRC-3 protein levels, promotes its phase separation and alters H3K36me2 at certain gene promoters resulting in a transcriptional profile that favors resistance of myeloma cells to bortezomib.
