Abstract
Abstract JMJD5, a JmjC-domain containing dioxygenase, is important for embryonic development and cancer growth. Here, we show that JMJD5 is up-regulated by hypoxia and is crucial for hypoxia-induced cell proliferation. JMJD5 interacts directly with PKM2, pyruvate kinase M2, to modulate metabolic flux in cancer cells. The JMJD5-PKM2 interaction resides at the intersubunit interface region of PKM2, which hinders PKM2 tetramerization and blocks pyruvate kinase activity. This interaction also influences translocation of PKM2 into the nucleus and promotes HIF-1α-mediated transactivation. JMJD5 knockdown inhibits the transcription of the PKM2-HIF-1α target genes involved in glucose metabolism, resulting in a reduction of glucose uptake and lactate secretion in cancer cells. JMJD5, along with PKM2 and HIF-1α are all recruited to the HRE (hypoxia response element) site in the LDHA and PKM2 loci, and mediates the recruitment of the latter two proteins. Our data uncovers a new mechanism whereby PKM2 can be regulated by factor-binding induced homo/hetero-oligomeric restructuring, paving the way to cell metabolic reprogram.
