In this study, we discovered a novel mechanism by which KDM2A promotes the proteasomal degradation of TCF/LEF proteins, thus affecting canonical Wnt signaling. This regulation depends on the CXXC domain of KDM2A and the C-terminal region of TCF7L2.
Canonical Wnt signaling is essential for a plethora of biological processes ranging from early embryogenesis to aging. Malfunctions of this crucial signaling pathway are associated with various developmental defects and diseases, including cancer. Although TCF/LEF transcription factors (TCF/LEFs) are known to be essential for this pathway, the regulation of their intracellular levels is not completely understood. Here, we show that the lysine demethylase KDM2A promotes the proteasomal destabilization of TCF/LEFs independently of its demethylase domain. We found that the KDM2A-mediated destabilization of TCF/LEFs is dependent on the KDM2A zinc finger CXXC domain. Furthermore, we identified the C-terminal region of TCF7L2 and the CXXC domain of KDM2A as the domains responsible for the interaction between the two proteins. Our study is also the first to show that endogenous TCF/LEF proteins undergo KDM2A-mediated proteasomal degradation in a neddylation-dependent manner. Here, we reveal a completely new mechanism that affects canonical Wnt signaling by regulating the levels of TCF/LEF transcription factors through their KDM2A-promoted proteasomal degradation.
