Sumario: | Mineralocorticoid and androgen receptor antagonist, spironolactone, was recently identified as an inhibitor of nucleotide excision repair (NER), acting via induction of proteolysis of TFIIH component Xeroderma Pigmentosum B protein (XPB). This activity provides a strong rationale for repurposing spironolactone for cancer therapy. Here, we report that the spironolactone-induced XPB proteolysis is mediated through ubiquitin-selective segregase, valosin-containing protein (VCP)/p97. We show that spironolactone induces a dose- and time-dependent degradation of XPB but not XPD, and that the XPB degradation is blocked by VCP/p97 inhibitors DBeQ, NMS-873, and neddylation inhibitor MLN4924. Moreover, the cellular treatment by VCP/p97 inhibitors leads to the accumulation of ubiquitin conjugates of XPB but not XPD. VCP/p97 knockdown by inducible shRNA does not affect XPB level but compromises the spironolactone-induced XPB degradation. Also, VCP/p97 interacts with XPB upon treatment of spironolactone and proteasome inhibitor MG132, while the VCP/p97 adaptor UBXD7 binds XPB and its ubiquitin conjugates. Additionally, ATP analog-mediated inhibition of Cdk7 significantly decelerates spironolactone-induced XPB degradation. Likewise, engaging TFIIH to NER by UV irradiation slows down spironolactone-induced XPB degradation. These results indicate that the spironolactone-induced XPB proteolysis requires VCP/p97 function and that XPB within holo-TFIIH rather than core-TFIIH is more vulnerable to spironolactone-induced proteolysis.
