<jats:p>The oncogenic fusion protein nucleophosmin‐anaplastic lymphoma kinase (NPM‐ALK), found in anaplastic large‐cell lymphoma (ALCL), localizes to the cytosol, nucleoplasm, and nucleolus. However, the relationship between its localization and transforming activity remains unclear. We herein demonstrated that NPM‐ALK localized to the nucleolus by binding to nucleophosmin 1 (NPM1), a nucleolar protein that exhibits shuttling activity between the nucleolus and cytoplasm, in a manner that was dependent on its kinase activity. In the nucleolus, NPM‐ALK interacted with Epstein–Barr virus nuclear antigen 1‐binding protein 2 (EBP2), which is involved in rRNA biosynthesis. Moreover, enforced expression of NPM‐ALK induced tyrosine phosphorylation of EBP2. Knockdown of EBP2 promoted the activation of the tumor suppressor p53, leading to G<jats:sub>0</jats:sub>/G<jats:sub>1</jats:sub>‐phase cell cycle arrest in Ba/F3 cells transformed by NPM‐ALK and ALCL patient‐derived Ki‐JK cells, but not ALCL patient‐derived SUDH‐L1 cells harboring p53 gene mutation. In Ba/F3 cells transformed by NPM‐ALK and Ki‐JK cells, p53 activation induced by knockdown of EBP2 was significantly inhibited by Akt inhibitor GDC‐0068, mTORC1 inhibitor rapamycin, and knockdown of Raptor, an essential component of mTORC1. These results suggest that the knockdown of EBP2 triggered p53 activation through the Akt‐mTORC1 pathway in NPM‐ALK‐positive cells. Collectively, the present results revealed the critical repressive mechanism of p53 activity by EBP2 and provide a novel therapeutic strategy for the treatment of ALCL.</jats:p>
