LMTK3 is an oncogenic receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) implicated in various types of cancer, including breast, lung, gastric, and colorectal cancer. It is local-ized in different cellular compartments, but its nuclear function has not been investigated so far. We mapped LMTK3 binding across the genome using ChIP-seq and found that LMTK3 binding events are corre-lated with repressive chromatin markers. We further identi?ed KRAB-associated protein 1 (KAP1) as a binding partner of LMTK3. The LMTK3/KAP1 interac-tion is stabilized by PP1a, which suppresses KAP1 phosphorylation speci?cally at LMTK3-associated chromatin regions, inducing chromatin condensation and resulting in transcriptional repression of LMTK3-bound tumor suppressor-like genes. Furthermore, LMTK3 functions at distal regions in tethering the chromatin to the nuclear periphery, resulting in H3K9me3 modi?cation and gene silencing. In sum-mary, we propose a model where a scaffolding func-tion of nuclear LMTK3 promotes cancer progression through chromatin remodeling.
