Short Name | G3BP2_RRM |
description | This entry represents the RNA recognition motif (RRM) of G3BP2, a cytoplasmic protein that interacts with both IkappaBalpha and IkappaBalpha/NF-kappaB complexes, indicating that G3BP2 may play a role in the control of nucleocytoplasmic distribution of IkappaBalpha and cytoplasmic anchoring of the IkappaBalpha/NF-kappaB complex []. It also contributes to stress granule formation []. G3BP2 contains an N-terminal nuclear transfer factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain, an acidic domain, a domain containing five PXXP motifs, an RNA recognition motif (RRM domain), and an Arg-Gly-rich region (RGG-rich region, or arginine methylation motif). It binds to the SH3 domain of RasGAP, a multi-functional protein controlling Ras activity, through its N-terminal NTF2-like domain []. The acidic domain is sufficient for the interaction of G3BP2 with the IkappaBalpha cytoplasmic retention sequence. Furthermore, G3BP2 might influence stability or translational efficiency of particular mRNAs by binding to RNA-containing structures within the cytoplasm through its RNA-binding domain []. |
