During prolonged mitotic arrest induced by anti-microtubule drugs, cell fate decision is determined by two alternative pathways, one leading to cell death, the other inducing premature escape from mitosis by mitotic slippage. FBWX7, a member of the F-box family of proteins and substrate-targeting subunit of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-Box) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex promotes mitotic cell death and prevents mitotic slippage. In this study, we report that WDR5, a component of the mixed lineage leukemia (MLL) complex of Histone 3 Lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferases is a substrate of FBXW7. WDR5 binds to FBXW7 in vivo and in vitro and its ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation is mediated by FBXW7. Furthermore, we find that WDR5 depletion counteracts FBXW7 loss-of-function by reducing mitotic slippage and polyploidization. Our data elucidate a new mechanism in mitotic cell fate regulation which might contribute to prevent chemotherapy resistance in patients after anti-microtubule drug treatment.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
