Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are nuclear envelope (NE)-embedded protein assemblies that mediate nucleocytoplasmic exchange and interact with the genome, including binding of an NPC component Nup93 to Polycomb chromatin domains. Here, we investigated the in vivo relevance of this relationship in Drosophila, which unusually contains two distinct paralogs of Nup93. Interestingly, we identified a Nup93-2-specific tumorigenic phenotype in larval wings, where depletion of Nup93-2, but not Nup93-1, led to tumor-like overgrowth, reminiscent of Polycomb mutations. Consistently, our transcriptomic analysis revealed a wide-spread loss of gene silencing in Nup93-2-depleted wings, particularly in a Nup93-bound Polycomb domain spanning genes for activators of JAK/STAT signaling. Nup93 paralogs were not found to differ in their effect on NPC biogenesis but strikingly, showed differences in subnuclear localization patterns. While Nup93-1 co-localized exclusively with fully assembled NPCs, Nup93-2 exhibited only partial co-localization and was found at additional NE locations in a tissue-specific manner. Together, our results identify an in vivo silencing role of a Nup93 paralog and suggest that Nup93-2 may form a unique NE-associated complex that targets a subset of Polycomb domains containing growth-promoting genes.
