Mutant p53 promotes tumor progression by the endoplasmic reticulum UDPase ENTPD5

ABSTRACT: Mutations in the p53 tumor suppressor gene are the most frequent genetic alteration in cancer and often associated with progression from benign to invasive, metastatic stages. Mutations inactivate tumor suppression by p53 and endow the protein with novel gain-of-function (GOF) activities that actively promote tumor progression, metastasis and therapy resistance. By comparative gene expression profiling of p53-mutated and p53-depleted cancer cells we identified ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 5 (ENTPD5) as a mutant p53 (mutp53) target gene. A comprehensive pan-cancer analysis revealed a highly significant correlation between GOF p53 mutations and elevated expression of ENTPD5. Mechanistically, regulation of ENTPD5 by mutp53 is mediated by the histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyl
