DEPDC1 physically interacts with the zinc finger transcriptional repressor ZNF224 and colocalizes with it in the nucleus; this interaction suppresses transcription of A20 (TNFAIP3), an inhibitor of NF-κB signaling, and disrupting the DEPDC1-ZNF224 complex with a cell-permeable peptide triggers A20 transcriptional activation and apoptosis in bladder cancer cells. |

In C. elegans, the DEPDC1 ortholog LET-99 acts upstream of the heterotrimeric G-protein alpha subunit GPA-11 to control activation of the stress kinase JNK-1 in response to microtubule-targeting drugs (vincristine); human DEPDC1 similarly promotes JNK-dependent phosphorylation and degradation of the anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family member MCL1, mediating anti-tubulin drug-induced apoptosis. |

DEPDC1 isoform a (DEPDC1a) localizes to the centrosome in metaphase and is required for centrosome integrity and bipolar spindle organization; phosphorylation of DEPDC1 at Ser110 (identified by mass spectrometry) is essential for its centrosomal localization, and non-phosphorylatable Ser110 mutants fail to rescue centrosome disruption caused by DEPDC1 depletion. DEPDC1 isoform b localizes to the cell cortex during mitosis. Both isoforms are upregulated in mitosis and degraded upon mitotic exit. |
