Targeting Cyclin K-CDK12 Synergizes with ATR Inhibition by Limiting RPA Chromatin Loading in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer [ChIP-seq]

GSE328796 Homo sapiens Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencing 6 samples Submitted 2026/04/27 Platform GPL24676
Summary
Cyclin K-CDK12 inhibition has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy to induce homologous recombination deficiency (HRD). However, clinical and genomic studies have not clearly linked CDK12 inactivation to HRD. Here, we demonstrate that cyclin K-CDK12 depletion drives a replication stress (RS)-associated vulnerability through RPA regulation. A DNA damage response-focused CRISPR screen identified DNA replication factors and ATR activators as top sensitizers to cyclin K degradation. Consistently, cyclin K-CDK12 depletion synergized with ATR inhibition in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) models. Cyclin K degradation reduces RPA chromatin loading and impairs ATR activation, compromising cellular tolerance to RS and increasing susceptibility to ATR inhibition. We show that CDK12-mediated phosphorylation of CDC5L is required for RPA chromatin loading and mediates resistance to combined cyclin K and ATR depletion. Our findings identify cyclin K-CDK12 as a critical regulator of RPA dynamics and support its inhibition as rational therapy for RS-high tumors, including TNBC.
