ABL1-mediated phosphorylation promotes FOXM1-related tumorigenicity by Increasing FOXM1 stability.

ABSTRACT: The transcription factor FOXM1, which plays critical roles in cell cycle progression and tumorigenesis, is highly expressed in rapidly proliferating cells and various tumor tissues, and high FOXM1 expression is related to a poor prognosis. However, the mechanism responsible for FOXM1 dysregulation is not fully understood. Here, we show that ABL1, a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase, contributes to the high expression of FOXM1 and FOXM1-dependent tumor development. Mechanistically, ABL1 directly binds FOXM1 and mediates FOXM1 phosphorylation at multiple tyrosine (Y) residues. Among these phospho-Y sites, pY575 is indispensable for FOXM1 stability as phosphorylation at this site protects FOXM1 from ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation. The interaction of FOXM1 with CDH1, a coactivator of the E3 ubiqu
