Function

SPOP_HUMAN Inhibits IPF1/PDX1 transactivation of established target promoters, such as insulin, may be by recruiting a repressor complex (By similarity). In complex with CUL3, involved in ubiquitination of BMI1, H2AFY and DAXX, and probably also in ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of Gli2 or Gli3.^[1] ^[2] ^[3]

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Hypoxic stress and hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) play important roles in a wide range of tumors. We demonstrate that SPOP, which encodes an E3 ubiquitin ligase component, is a direct transcriptional target of HIFs in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC). Furthermore, hypoxia results in cytoplasmic accumulation of SPOP, which is sufficient to induce tumorigenesis. This tumorigenic activity occurs through the ubiquitination and degradation of multiple regulators of cellular proliferation and apoptosis, including the tumor suppressor PTEN, ERK phosphatases, the proapoptotic molecule Daxx, and the Hedgehog pathway transcription factor Gli2. Knockdown of SPOP specifically kills ccRCC cells, indicating that it may be a promising therapeutic target. Collectively, our results indicate that SPOP serves as a regulatory hub to promote ccRCC tumorigenesis.
