Wide-spread growth-essential genes are hyper-transcribed in the pancreatic cancer cells. Searching for the factors that reprogram this abnormal transcription, we identified the nuclear oncogene SET that supported CDK9-induced and Pol II-mediated transcription. SET disrupted PP2A-A/C interaction via its C-terminal domains. Through blocking PP2A activity, SET assisted CDK9 to maintain Pol II CTD phosphorylation and activated mRNA transcription. Meanwhile, as a histone acetylation insulator, SET mainly suppressed histone acetylation in the gene promoters but evaded enhancers. Massive super-enhancer associated genes, including the oncogene MET, were hence permitted to be transcribed by SET over-expression. Our findings position SET as a key factor that bridges histone acetylation and PP2A related transcription in cancer cells.
