Androgen receptor (AR) signaling is a key driver of prostate cancer (PC). While androgen-deprivation therapy is transiently effective in advanced disease, tumors often progress to a lethal castration-resistant state (CRPC). We show that recurrent PC-driver mutations in speckle-type POZ protein (SPOP) stabilize the TRIM24 protein, which promotes proliferation under low androgen conditions. TRIM24 augments AR signaling, and AR and TRIM24 co-activated genes are significantly upregulated in CRPC. Expression of TRIM24 protein increases from primary PC to CRPC, and both TRIM24 protein levels and the AR/TRIM24 gene signature predict disease recurrence. Analyses in CRPC cells reveal that the TRIM24 bromodomain and the AR-interacting motif are essential to support proliferation. These data provide a rationale for therapeutic TRIM24 targeting in SPOP mutant and CRPC patients.

The function of immune cells is delicately regulated under a variety of molecular networks. Transcriptional intermediary factor 1 (TIF1) family proteins, consisting of TRIM24, TRIM28 and TRIM33, share a highly conserved RING domain that is essential for the regulation of protein ubiquitination functioning as E3 ubiquitin ligases. TIF1 family proteins are diversely expressed in different types of immune cells, and participate in the regulation of various of cellular functions including chromosome modification, DNA repair, tumor progression, and immunity.

An inability to replicate the genome can cause replication stress and genome instability. Here, we develop BLOCK-ID, a proteomic method to identify and visualize proteins at stressed replication forks. This approach successfully identified novel mediators of the replication stress response, including the chromatin acetylation reader protein TRIM24.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the second leading cause of cancer death, and about 10% of all malignancies are CRC. Cancer stem cells are considered main culprits in CRC treatment resistance and disease recurrence. This study explored the effects of tripartite motif containing 24 (TRIM24) and zinc finger protein, X-linked (ZFX) on CRC cell stemness and 5-FU resistance.
