Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein K (HNRNPK) regulates pre-mRNA processing and long non-coding RNA localization in the nucleus. It was previously shown that shuttling of HNRNPK to the cytoplasm promotes cell proliferation and cancer metastasis. However, the mechanism of HNRNPK cytoplasmic localization, its cytoplasmic RNA ligands, and impact on posttranscriptional gene regulation remain uncharacterized. Here we show that the intermediate filament protein Keratin 19 (K19) directly interacts with HNRNPK and sequesters it in the cytoplasm. Correspondingly, in K19 knockout breast cancer cells, HNRNPK does not localize in the cytoplasm, resulting in reduced cell proliferation. We mapped cytoplasmic HNRNPK target mRNAs using PAR-CLIP where transcriptome data to show that, in the cytoplasm, HNRNPK stabilizes target mRNAs bound to the 3 untranslated region at the expected C-rich sequence elements. Furthermore, these mRNAs are typically involved in cancer progression and include the p53 signaling pathway that is dysregulated upon HNRNPK knockdown or K19 knockout. This study identifies how a cytoskeletal protein can directly regulate gene expression by controlling subcellular localization of RNA binding proteins to support pathways involved in cancer progression.
