Abstract
RUVBL1 and RUVBL2 (collectively RUVBL1/2) are essential AAA+ ATPases that function as co-chaperones and have been implicated in cancer. Here we investigated the molecular and phenotypic role of RUVBL1/2 ATPase activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We find that RUVBL1/2 are overexpressed in NSCLC patient tumors, with high expression associated with poor survival. Utilizing a specific inhibitor of RUVBL1/2 ATPase activity, we show that RUVBL1/2 ATPase activity is necessary for the maturation or dissociation of the PAQosome, a large RUVBL1/2-dependent multiprotein complex. We also show that RUVBL1/2 have roles in DNA replication, as inhibition of its ATPase activity can cause S-phase arrest, which culminates in cancer cell death via replication catastrophe. While in vivo pharmacological inhibition of RUVBL1/2 results in modest antitumor activity, it synergizes with radiation in NSCLC, but not normal cells, an attractive property for future preclinical development.Entities:
