USP39-mediated deubiquitination of Cyclin B1 promotes tumor cell proliferation and glioma progression.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The elevated Cyclin B1 expression contributes to various tumorigenesis and poor prognosis. Cyclin B1 expression could be regulated by ubiquitination and deubiquitination. However, the mechanism of how Cyclin B1 is deubiquitinated and its roles in human glioma remain unclear.

Methods

Co-immunoprecipitation and other assays were performed to detect the interacting of Cyclin B1 and USP39. A series of in vitro and in vivo experiments were performed to investigate the effect of USP39 on the tumorigenicity of tumor cells.

Results

USP39 interacts with Cyclin B1 and stabilizes its expression by deubiquitinating Cyclin B1. Notably, USP39 cleaves the K29-linked polyubiquitin chain on Cyclin B1 at Lys242. Additionally, overexpression of Cyclin B1 rescues the arrested
