The B-cell receptor (BCR) is essential for B-cell development and a crucial clinical target in immuno-oncology. However, therapeutic success against the BCR and downstream signaling pathways is hampered by enhanced NF-{kappa}B activation as a resistance mechanism. Using a multiomic approach, we discover the c-REL proto-oncogenic subunit of the NF-{kappa}B family as a key transcription factor regulating BCR subunit levels in B-cell lymphoma. Subsequent ChIP- seq, cell biology experiments, and patient data analysis reveal that OTUD4 is a critical deubiquitinase for inhibiting proteasomal degradation of c-REL and for stabilizing a multi-loop positive feedback of NF-{kappa}B to the BCR pathway. Remarkably, OTUD4 downregulation destabilizes c-REL and BCR levels and inhibits cell growth of B cell lymphoma. Thus, we shed light on the malignant potential of c-REL abundance, identify a positive feedback from c-REL to upstream BCR and present OTUD4 as a vulnerability to synergistically target NF-{kappa}B and BCR pathways in B-cell lymphoid malignancies.
