C11orf54 is a conserved ester hydrolase involved in DNA damage and repair. Knockdown of C11orf54 reduces cell proliferation and enhances cisplatin-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. The loss of C11orf54 leads to suppression of homologous recombination repair through decreased Rad51 expression.
C11orf54 is an ester hydrolase highly conserved across different species. C11orf54 has been identified as a biomarker protein of renal cancers, but its exact function remains poorly understood. Here we demonstrate that C11orf54 knockdown decreases cell proliferation and enhances cisplatin-induced DNA damage and apoptosis. On the one hand, loss of C11orf54 reduces Rad51 expression and nuclear accumulation, which results in suppression of homologous recombination repair. On the other hand, C11orf54 and HIF1A competitively interact with HSC70, knockdown of C11orf54 promotes HSC70 binding to HIF1A to target it for degradation via chaperone-mediated autophagy (CMA). C11orf54 knockdown-mediated HIF1A degradation reduces the transcription of ribonucleotide reductase regulatory subunit M2 (RRM2), which is a rate-limiting RNR enzyme for DNA synthesis and DNA repair by producing dNTPs. Supplement of dNTPs can partially rescue C11orf54 knockdown-mediated DNA damage and cell death. Furthermore, we find that Bafilomycin A1, an inhibitor of both macroautophagy and chaperone-mediated autophagy, shows similar rescue effects as dNTP treatment. In summary, we uncover a role of C11orf54 in regulating DNA damage and repair through CMA-mediated decreasing of HIF1A/RRM2 axis. A role for ester hydrolase C11orf54 in regulating DNA damage and repair is identified. Loss of C11orf54 reduces Rad51 expression and also promotes degradation of HIF1A by chaperone-mediated autophagy leading to reduced transcription of RRM2.
