RNF8/UbcH8-mediated histone H3 polyubiquitylation and degradation promotes gene expression. EGFR activation results in PKM2 phosphorylating H3 at T11 and subsequent binding of RNF8 FHA domain to phosphorylated histone H3. RNF8-mediated H3-K4 polyubiquitylation promotes the dissociation of histone from chromatin, degradation of histones, and binding of RNA polymerase (Pol) II for gene transcription of MYC and CCND1, which promotes the glycolysis, cell proliferation, and tumorigenesis.
