Abstract

Background: HPK1 is lost in 95% pancreatic cancer through proteasome-mediated degradation. Results: The ubiquitination and degradation of HPK1 mediated by CUL7/Fbxw8 ubiquitin ligase required HPK1 kinase activity and autophosphorylation. Conclusion: Targeted HPK1 degradation by CUL7/Fbxw8 ubiquitin ligase constitutes a negative-feedback loop to restrain HPK1 activity. Significance: Our study revealed a direct link of CUL7/Fbxw8 ubiquitin ligase to the MAPK pathway.
