We generated eight multiple myeloma (MM) cell lines resistant to bortezomib (BTZ); five acquired PSMB5 mutations. In 1,500 patients such mutations were rare clinically. To better understand disruption of proteasomes on MM viability and drug sensitivity, we systematically deleted the major proteasome catalytic subunits. MM cells without PSMB5 were viable. Drug resistant, PSMB5 mutated, cell lines were re-sensitized to BTZ by PSMB5 deletion, implying PSMB5 mutation is activating in its drug resistance function. In contrast, PSMB6 knockout was lethal to MM cell lines. Depleting PSMB6 prevented splicing of the major catalytic subunits PSMB5, PSMB7, PSMB8 and PSMB10, however PSMB6 engineered without splicing function or catalytic activity, also restored viability, inferring the contribution of PSMB6 to proteasome structure to be more important than functional activity. Supporting this, BTZ sensitivity was restored in drug resistant MM cell lines by low level expression of mutated PSMB6 lacking splicing function. Loss of PSMB8 and PSMB9 was neither lethal nor restored BTZ sensitivity. Significant co-dependency of PSMB5, PSMB6 and PSMB7 expression was observed. We demonstrated elevated levels of PSMB6 and 7 but not 8 and 9 in some, but not all, serial patient samples exposed to proteasome inhibitors. In summary, we show PSMB6 and PSMB7 but not PSMB5 to be essential for MM cell survival, this dependency is structural and that up-regulation or activating mutation of PSMB5, 6 and 7 confers proteasome inhibitor resistance while depletion confers sensitivity. These findings support modulation of PSMB5, PSMB6 or PSMB7 expression as a new therapeutic strategy.
