The E3 ubiquitin ligase adaptor Speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) plays an important tumour suppressor role in prostate cancers (PCa), with mutation rate up to 15%. However, how SPOP mutations regulate prostate tumorigenesis remains elusive. Here, we report the identification of cell division cycle associated 5 (CDCA5) as a SPOP substrate. We found that SPOP interacts with CDCA5 and promotes its polyubiquitin degradation in a degron-dependent manner. This effect was greatly impaired by introducing PCa associated SPOP mutations. Importantly, we found that CDCA5 was essential for PCa cells to survive and proliferate. CDCA5 depletion in PCa cells led to cessation of proliferation, G2M arrest, severe sister chromatid aggregation disturbance, and apoptosis. we also found that CDCA5 knockdown decreased the protein expression of p-GSK3β, increased the activity of caspase-3, caspase-9, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. Besides, we confirmed that CDCA5 interrupted cancer cell behavior via the AKT pathway. In contrast, silencing SPOP or overexpressing CDCA5 increased cell proliferation. Consistently, depleting SPOP along with CDCA5, or overexpressing CDCA5 along with SPOP also caused the growth of cells repressed. Consistent with the functional role of CDCA5, the mRNA and protein levels of CDCA5 were significantly increased in PCa, compared to normal tissues, and its high expression was associated with more severe lymph node metastasis, higher Gleason score, and poorer prognosis. Together, our data showed that SPOP plays a crucial role in inhibiting tumorigenesis and partly achieved this by promoting the degradation of oncoprotein CDCA5.

Global nonprofit biological resource center (BRC) and research organization that provides biological products, technical services and educational programs to private industry, government and academic organizations. Its mission is to acquire, authenticate, preserve, develop and distribute biological materials, information, technology, intellectual property and standards for the advancement and application of scientific knowledge. The primary purpose of ATCC is to use its resources and experience as a BRC to become the world leader in standard biological reference materials management, intellectual property resource management and translational research as applied to biomaterial development, standardization and certification. ATCC characterizes cell lines, bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa, as well as develops and evaluates assays and techniques for validating research resources and preserving and distributing biological materials to the public and private sector research communities.
View all literature mentionsNon-profit plasmid repository dedicated to helping scientists around the world share high-quality plasmids. Facilitates archiving and distributing DNA-based research reagents and associated data to scientists worldwide. Repository contains over 65,000 plasmids, including special collections on CRISPR, fluorescent proteins, and ready-to-use viral preparations. There is no cost for scientists to deposit plasmids, which saves time and money associated with shipping plasmids themselves. All plasmids are fully sequenced for validation and sequencing data is openly available. We handle the appropriate Material Transfer Agreements (MTA) with institutions, facilitating open exchange and offering intellectual property and liability protection for depositing scientists. Furthermore, we curate free educational resources for the scientific community including a blog, eBooks, video protocols, and detailed molecular biology resources.
