ABSTRACT
The deubiquitinating enzyme BAP1 is mutated in a hereditary cancer syndrome with a high risk of mesothelioma and melanocytic tumors. Here, we show that Bap1 deletion in melanocytes cooperates with the constitutively active, oncogenic form of BRAF (BRAFV600E ) and UV to cause melanoma in mice, albeit at very low frequency. In addition, Bap1-null melanoma cells derived from mouse tumors are more aggressive and colonize and grow at distant sites more than their wild-type counterparts. Molecularly, Bap1-null melanoma cell lines have increased DNA damage measured by γH2aX and hyperubiquitination of histone H2a. Therapeutically, these Bap1-null tumors are completely responsive to BRAF- and MEK-targeted therapies. Therefore, BAP1 functions as a tumor suppressor and limits tumor progression in melanoma.
