Abstract

[1] Ring finger protein 115 (RNF115) is a RAB7 target protein also known as breast cancer-associated gene 2 (BCA2). In the present study, we report that RNF115 is a negative regulator of basal autophagy in hepatoma cells. Inactivating RNF115 promoted autophagic activity by enhancing RAB7–HOPS complex binding and ATG14 activities [Figure 1], which inhibited hepatoma cell growth in vivo and in vitro and provided an experimental foundation for hepatocellular carcinoma treatment by targeting RNF115.
