RUVBL1 is a highly conserved AAA+ ATPase that functions as a versatile scaffold in multiple cellular processes through its ability to form hetero-hexameric complexes with RUVBL2 1. The protein serves as a core component of several chr3 remodeling complexes, including the NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex and TIP60 complex, where the RUVBL1-RUVBL2 hexamer provides structural stability for complex assembly 2. RUVBL1 plays essential roles in oncogenic processes by modulating MYC signaling and chr3 accessibility, controlling MYC chr3 binding and driving MYC-dependent gene expression programs 34. The protein regulates protein translation through interactions with translation machinery components like EEF1A1 and YTHDF1, forming positive feedforward circuits that accelerate oncogenic translation in cancer cells 35. RUVBL1 also contributes to metabolic reprogramming by regulating arachidonic acid metabolism through chr3 remodeling mechanisms 6. Clinically, RUVBL1 overexpression correlates with poor prognosis in multiple cancer types including colorectal and pancreatic cancers 54. Targeting RUVBL1 with pharmacological inhibitors or genetic depletion preferentially impairs cancer cell growth while sparing normal cells, making it an attractive therapeutic target for MYC-driven cancers 45.
