Circular RNAs are a novel class of RNA transcripts, which regulate important cellular functions in health and disease. Herein, we report on the functional relevance of the circPCMTD1 transcript in acute leukemias. In screening experiments, we found that circPCMTD1 depletion strongly inhibited the proliferative capacity of leukemic cells with BCR-ABL translocations. Mass cytometry experiments identified the aberrant activation of the DNA damage response as an early downstream event of circPCMTD1 depletion. In in vivo experiments, circPCMTD1 targeting prolonged the survival of mice engrafted with leukemic blasts harboring the Philadelphia chromosome. Mechanistically, we found that circPCMTD1 was enriched in the cytoplasm and associated with the ribosomes of the leukemic cells. We detected a cryptic open reading frame within the circPCMTD1 sequence and found that circPCMTD1 could generate a peptide product. The circPCMTD1-derived peptide interacted with proteins of the BTR complex and enhanced BTR complex formation, thereby increasing tolerance to genotoxic stress.
