AbstractThe small non-coding vault RNA (vtRNA) 1-1 has been shown to confer apoptosis resistance in several malignant cell lines and also to modulate the autophagic flux in hepatocytes, thus highlighting its pro-survival role. Here we describe a new function of vtRNA1-1 in regulating in vitro and in vivo tumor cell proliferation, tumorigenesis and chemoresistance. By activating extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERK 1/2), vtRNA1-1 knock-out (KO) inhibits transcription factor EB (TFEB), leading to a downregulation of the coordinated lysosomal expression and regulation (CLEAR) network genes and lysosomal compartment dysfunction. Pro-tumorigenic pathways dysregulation and decreased lysosome functionality potentiate the anticancer effect of conventional targeted cancer drugs in the absence of vtRNA1-1. Finally, vtRNA1-1 KO-reduced lysosomotropism, together with a higher intracellular compound availability, significantly reduced tumor cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. These findings reveal the role of vtRNA1-1 in ensuring intracellular catabolic compartment stability and functionality, suggesting its importance in lysosome-mediated chemotherapy resistance.

Vaults and telomerase are ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particles that share a common protein subunit, TEP1. Although its role in either complex has not yet been defined, TEP1 has been shown to interact with the mouse telomerase RNA and with several of the human vault RNAs in a yeast three-hybrid assay. An mTep1−/− mouse was previously generated which resulted in no apparent change in telomere length or telomerase activity in six generations of mTep1-deficient mice. Here we show that the levels of the telomerase RNA and its association with the telomerase RNP are also unaffected in mTep1−/− mice. Although vaults purified from the livers of mTep1−/− mice appear structurally intact by both negative stain and cryoelectron microscopy, three-dimensional reconstruction of the mTep1−/− vault revealed less density in the cap than previously observed for the intact rat vault. Furthermore, the absence of TEP1 completely disrupted the stable association of the vault RNA with the purified vault particle and also resulted in a decrease in the levels and stability of the vault RNA. Therefore, we have uncovered a novel role for TEP1 in vivo as an integral vault protein important for the stabilization and recruitment of the vault RNA to the vault particle.
