Fibrillarin-dependent 2′-O-methylation modulates RPS28 ribosome incorporation and oncogenic translation
Listed in NCBI GEO
Fibrillarin (FBL), a core component of the C/D box small nucleolar ribonucleoprotein (snoRNP) complex, catalyzes the 2'-O-methylation (Nm) of the ribose 2'-hydroxyl moiety in ribosomal RNA (rRNA).
Description
Distinct Nm patterns contribute to ribosome heterogeneity, which is linked to selective translation of oncogenes. FBL dysregulation generates an aberrant Nm signature in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), the most aggressive breast cancer subtype.
This study investigated the role of FBL in TNBC via translation-driven mechanisms. Our findings show that FBL knockdown impairs tumorigenic traits, triggers metabolic stress, and reduces the translation efficiency of oncogenes, such as metastasis-associated protein 1 (MTA1), interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase 1 (IRAK1), and thymosin beta 10 (TMSB10). RiboMethSeq confirmed that the rRNA Nm sites exhibited differential sensitivity to FBL depletion.

Additionally, FBL knockdown leads to alterations in 18S ribosome structure and specifically reduced RPS28 incorporation into ribosomes. Notably, silencing RPS28 also disrupted both the oncogenic phenotype and downregulated MTA1, IRAK1, and TMSB10 expression. These findings reveal a complex interplay between FBL, rRNA Nm modifications, and RPS28 in shaping oncogenic protein pools and ribosomal composition in TNBC, offering promising insights into therapeutic approaches targeting this aggressive cancer subtype.
