Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumor in adults. To identify genes differentially required for the viability of GBM stem-like cells (GSCs), we performed functional genomic lethality screens comparing GSCs and control human neural stem cells. Among top scoring hits in a subset of GBM cells was the F-box-containing gene FBXO42, which was also essential in [~]15% of cell lines derived from a broad range of cancers. Mechanistic studies revealed that, in sensitive cells, FBXO42 activity prevents chromosome alignment defects, mitotic cell cycle arrest, and cell death. The cell cycle arrest, but not the cell death, triggered by FBXO42 inactivation could be suppressed by brief exposure to a chemical inhibitor of Mps1, a key spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) kinase. FBXO42s cancer-essential function requires its F-box and Kelch domains, which are necessary for FBXO42s substrate recognition and targeting by SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. However, none of FBXO42s previously proposed targets, including ING4, p53, and RBPJ, were responsible for the observed phenotypes. Instead, our results suggest that FBOX42 activity suppresses the accumulation of one or more proteins that perturb chromosome-microtubule dynamics in cancer cells, which, in turn, leads to induction of the SAC and cell death.
