Tumor suppressor mediated ubiquitylation of hnRNPK is a barrier to oncogenic translation

© 2022. The Author(s)..

Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein K (hnRNPK) is a multifunctional RNA binding protein (RBP) localized in the nucleus and the cytoplasm. Abnormal cytoplasmic enrichment observed in solid tumors often correlates with poor clinical outcome. The mechanism of cytoplasmic redistribution and ensuing functional role of cytoplasmic hnRNPK remain unclear. Here we demonstrate that the SCFFbxo4 E3 ubiquitin ligase restricts the pro-oncogenic activity of hnRNPK via K63 linked polyubiquitylation, thus limiting its ability to bind target mRNA. We identify SCFFbxo4-hnRNPK responsive mRNAs whose products regulate cellular processes including proliferation, migration, and invasion. Loss of SCFFbxo4 leads to enhanced cell invasion, migration, and tumor metastasis. C-Myc was identified as one target of SCFFbxo4-hnRNPK. Fbxo4 loss triggers hnRNPK-dependent increase in c-Myc translation, thereby contributing to tumorigenesis. Increased c-Myc positions SCFFbxo4-hnRNPK dysregulated cancers for potential therapeutic interventions that target c-Myc-dependence. This work demonstrates an essential role for limiting cytoplasmic hnRNPK function in order to maintain translational and cellular homeostasis.
