description | Summary: Understanding the mechanisms underlying cancer gene expression is critical for precision oncology. Posttranscriptional regulation is a key determinant of protein abundance and cancer cell behavior. However, to what extent posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms impact protein levels and cancer progression is an ongoing question. Here, we exploit cancer proteogenomics data to systematically compare mRNA-protein correlations across 14 different human cancer types. We identify two clusters of genes with particularly low mRNA-protein correlations across all cancer types, shed light on the role of posttranscriptional regulation of cancer driver genes and drug targets, and unveil a cohort of 55 mutations that alter systems-wide posttranscriptional regulation. Surprisingly, we find that decreased levels of posttranscriptional control in patients correlate with shorter overall survival across multiple cancer types, prompting further mechanistic studies into how posttranscriptional regulation affects patient outcomes. Our findings underscore the importance of a comprehensive understanding of the posttranscriptional regulatory landscape for predicting cancer progression. |
