Abstract: glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4) is a primary inhibitor of ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death driven by the accumulation of lipid hydroperoxides. GPX4 exists in three isoforms localized in the cytosol, mitochondria and nucleus, respectively; however, the regulatory mechanisms governing nuclear GPX4 (nGPX4) remain largely unclear. Herein, we identified TATA-box binding protein-associated factor 1 (TAF1) as a pivotal regulator of nGPX4. TAF1 phosphorylates nGPX4, leading to its K11-linked ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation, thereby promoting ferroptosis in p53-mutant cells. Conversely, in p53-wild-type cells, TAF1 phosphorylates p53, facilitating MDM2 proto-oncogene (MDM2)-mediated p53 degradation, which upregulates solute carrier family 7 member 11 (SLC7A11) expression and reduces cellular susceptibility to ferroptosis. Collectively, TAF1 plays dual and context-dependent roles in ferroptosis regulation, acting as both a promoter and inhibitor depending on the p53 status.
