PSPC1 (PSP1) forms a heterodimer with p54nrb (NONO) in vivo; the DBHS domain of PSPC1 mediates this interaction and is required for correct localization of PSPC1 to paraspeckles; both the heterodimer interaction and RNA-binding capability of RRM are necessary but individually insufficient for paraspeckle targeting; paraspeckle formation requires RNA Polymerase II transcription. |

PSPC1 is a nuclear substrate of PTK6; unphosphorylated PSPC1 sequesters PTK6 in the nucleus as a tumor suppressor. PSPC1 upregulation or PSPC1-Y523F mutation promotes cytoplasmic translocation of active PTK6 and nuclear translocation of β-catenin; nuclear β-catenin interacts with PSPC1 to augment Wnt3a autocrine signaling. The PSPC1 C-terminal domain (PSPC1-CT131) reverses PTK6/β-catenin shuttling and suppresses metastasis in HCC orthotopic mice. |
