BAP1 maintains chromosome stability by stabilizing DIDO1 in renal cell carcinoma.

ABSTRACT: BRCA1-associated protein 1 (BAP1) is a member of the ubiquitin C-terminal hydrolase family of deubiquitinating enzymes and is implicated in transcriptional regulation. The BAP1 gene is mutated in 5%-15% of patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common form of renal cancer, which suggests that BAP1 is a tumor suppressor. However, whether BAP1 influences the progression of ccRCC tumors expressing wildtype (WT) BAP1 is unclear. Here, we identified DIDO1 as a bona fide substrate for BAP1. DIDO1 is a component of the centrosome proteins and plays an essential role in spindle assembly. BAP1 binds to DIDO1 and stabilizes DIDO1 through de-ubiquitination. BAP1 contributes to chromosome stability partially via DIDO1. A positive correlation was identified between BAP1
