| Abstract Text | Inhibitors targeting Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) have revolutionized the treatment for various B-cell malignancies but are limited by acquired resistance after prolonged treatment as a result of mutations in BTK. Here, by a combination of structural modeling, in vitro assays, and deep phospho-tyrosine proteomics, we demonstrated that four clinically observed BTK mutations-C481F, C481Y, C481R, and L528W-inactivated BTK kinase activity both in vitro and in diffused large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells. Paradoxically, we found that DLBCL cells harboring kinase-inactive BTK exhibited intact B cell receptor (BCR) signaling, unperturbed transcription, and optimal cellular growth. Moreover, we determined that DLBCL cells with kinase-inactive BTK remained addicted to BCR signaling and were thus sensitive to targeted BTK degradation by the proteolysis-targeting chimera. By performing parallel genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screening in DLBCL cells with WT or kinase-inactive BTK, we discovered that DLBCL cells with kinase-inactive BTK displayed increased dependence on Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) for their growth and/or survival. Our study demonstrates that the kinase activity of BTK is not essential for oncogenic BCR signaling and suggests that BTK's noncatalytic function is sufficient to sustain the survival of DLBCL. | ||||||||||||

| BTK | C481F | missense | unknown | BTK C481F lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). C481F confers resistance to BTK inhibitors (PMID: 25189416, PMID: 28178345, PMID: 27282255, PMID: 35639855) and results in loss of autophosphorylation (PMID: 25189416, PMID: 28178345, PMID: 27282255) and loss of kinase activity in an in vitro assay (PMID: 36183831), but maintains BCR signaling through activation of Hck in culture (PMID: 35639855), and therefore, its effect on Btk protein function is unknown. | Y |
| BTK | C481Y | missense | unknown | BTK C481Y lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). C481Y confers resistance to BTK inhibitors, results in a loss of Btk kinase activity in in vitro assays and in cell culture (PMID: 36183831, PMID: 35639855), but maintains BCR signaling through activation of Hck in culture (PMID: 35639855), and therefore, its effect on Btk protein function is unknown. | Y |
| BTK | L528W | missense | unknown | BTK L528W lies within the protein kinase domain of the Btk protein (UniProt.org). L528W confers resistance to BTK inhibitors in culture (PMID: 35196427, PMID: 36183831, PMID: 39728925), results in loss of kinase activity in in vitro assays (PMID: 36183831, PMID: 38301010), increased calcium ion flux and decreased Btk and Plcg2 phosphorylation in culture (PMID: 35196427), but retains downstream signaling (PMID: 35196427) and calcium ion flux similar to wild-type in a different study (PMID: 36183831), and therefore, its effect on Btk protein function is unknown. | Y |
