Abstract
PBRM1, a component of the chromatin remodeller SWI/SNF, is often deleted or mutated in human cancers, most prominently in renal cancers. Core components of the SWI/SNF complex have been shown to be important for the cellular response to hypoxia. Here we investigated how PBRM1 controls HIF-1alpha activity. We find that PBRM1 is required for HIF-1alpha transcriptional activity and protein levels. Mechanistically, PBRM1 is important for HIF-1alpha mRNA translation, as absence of PBRM1 results in reduced activly transalting HIF-1alpha mRNA. Interestingly, we find that PBRM1, but not BRG1, interacts with the m6A reader protein YTHDF2. HIF-1alpha mRNA is m6A modified, bound by PBRM1 and YTHDF2. PBRM1 is necessary for YTHDF2 binding to HIF-1alpha mRNA and reduction of YTHDF2 results in reduced HIF-1alpha protein expression in cells. Our results identify a SWI/SNF independent function for PBRM1, interacting with HIF-1alpha mRNA and the epitranscriptome machinery. Furthermore, our results suggests that the epitranscriptome associated proteins play a role in the control of hypoxia signalling pathways
