CRISPR Screen Identifies BAP1 as a Deubiquitinase Regulating SPIN4 Stability.
Protein homeostasis is tightly controlled by the coordinated actions of E3 ubiquitin ligases and deubiquitinases (DUBs). We previously identified Spindlin-4 (SPIN4), a histone H3K4me3 reader, as a degradation substrate of DCAF16. In this study, we confirmed this degradation pathway using an E3 ligase-focused CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen. Furthermore, through a DUB-focused CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screen and biochemical analyses, we demonstrated that the deubiquitinase BAP1 interacts with and stabilizes SPIN4 via its deubiquitination activity. Inhibition or loss of BAP1 reduces SPIN4 levels, highlighting its critical role in maintaining SPIN4 homeostasis. Proteomics and interactome analyses further support this regulatory axis. These findings reveal a dynamic balance controlling SPIN4 stability, with potential implications for epigenetic regulation and disease processes.
期刊介绍:
Biochemistry provides an international forum for publishing exceptional, rigorous, high-impact research across all of biological chemistry. This broad scope includes studies on the chemical, physical, mechanistic, and/or structural basis of biological or cell function, and encompasses the fields of chemical biology, synthetic biology, disease biology, cell biology, nucleic acid biology, neuroscience, structural biology, and biophysics. In addition to traditional Research Articles, Biochemistry also publishes Communications, Viewpoints, and Perspectives, as well as From the Bench articles that report new methods of particular interest to the biological chemistry community.
