摘要

SPHK1 is critical for maintaining cellular lipid balance. Aberrant expression of SPHK1 aggravates malignancy of tumor through multiple signaling pathways. Here, we report a novel regulatory mechanism in ubiquitination of SPHK1. It is demonstrated that TRIM21 facilitates SPHK1 degradation via promoting K48-linked polyubiquitination. OTUB1 prohibits the TRIM21-induced ubiquitination of SPHK1 to maintain its high expression level. These findings define a new insight into the ubiquitination regulatory axis of SPHK1 and demonstrate that OTUB1-mediated SPHK1 stabilization facilitates proliferation and migration of HCC cells.
