A highly recurrent RPS27 5'UTR mutation in melanoma

Abstract: The incidence of melanoma continues to rise globally and is increasing at a rate greater than any other cancer. To systematically search for new genes involved in melanomagenesis, we collated exome sequencing data from independent melanoma cohort datasets, including those in the public domain. We identified recurrent mutations that may drive melanoma growth, survival or metastasis, and which may hold promise for the design of novel therapies to treat melanoma. These included a frequent recurrent (i.e. hotspot)… Show more

“…MRPS31 encodes a mitochondrial ribosomal protein not previously associated with cancer; RPS27 is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit whose overexpression has been reported in melanoma (Santa Cruz et al, 1997). The recurrent mutation in RPS27 was recently shown to expand the 5′ TOP element, a motif known to control mRNA translation regulated through the PI(3)K/AKT and mTOR pathways (Dutton-Regester et al, 2014). …”

“…This gene is a targeted by somatic missense mutations that mainly cluster in a 7 amino-acid region of exon 4 in 10-20% of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) patients (10,13). Additionally, RPS27 contains an identical mutation in its 5’UTR in 10% of melanoma patients (103). The impact of this non-coding variant on RPS27 expression remains to be determined.…”

“…Recurrent mutations in regulatory regions of several genes that aberrantly activate expression of these genes have also recently been described [3840]. Of these, recurrent mutations in the promoter of TERT , which create novel ETS family transcription factor binding sites, have been documented in up to 70% of melanoma patient samples.…”
