PRAMEF2 is repressed under conditions of altered metabolic homeostasis in a FOXP3-dependent manner, and mediates polyubiquitylation of LATS1 kinase of the Hippo/YAP pathway, leading to enhanced nuclear accumulation of YAP and increased expression of proliferative and metastatic genes. This promotes a malignant phenotype.
PRAMEF2 is a member of the PRAME multigene family of cancer testis antigens, which serve as prognostic markers for several cancers. However, molecular mechanisms underlying its role in tumorigenesis remain poorly understood. Here, we report that PRAMEF2 is repressed under conditions of altered metabolic homeostasis in a FOXP3-dependent manner. We further demonstrate that PRAMEF2 is a BC-box containing substrate recognition subunit of Cullin 2-based E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. PRAMEF2 mediates polyubiquitylation of LATS1 kinase of the Hippo/YAP pathway, leading to its proteasomal degradation. The site for ubiquitylation was mapped to the conserved Lys860 residue in LATS1. Furthermore, LATS1 degradation promotes enhanced nuclear accumulation of the transcriptional coactivator YAP, resulting in increased expression of proliferative and metastatic genes. Thus, PRAMEF2 promotes malignant phenotype in a YAP-dependent manner. Additionally, elevated PRAMEF2 levels correlate with increased nuclear accumulation of YAP in advanced grades of breast carcinoma. These findings highlight the pivotal role of PRAMEF2 in tumorigenesis and provide mechanistic insight into YAP regulation.
