InnateDB Annotation
Summary
PCBP2 is a negative regulator in MAVS-mediated antiviral signalling that recruits the HECT domain-containing E3 ligase ITCH (AIP4) to polyubiquitinate and degrade MAVS.
PCBP2 synergizes with PCBP1 in MAVS inhibition but PCBP2 shows low basal expression with rapid induction after infection while PCBP1 is stably and abundantly expressed.
InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs
Summary
[Mus musculus] Pcbp2 synergizes with Pcbp1 in Mavs inhibition but Pcbp2 shows low basal expression with rapid induction after infection while Pcbp1 is stably and abundantly expressed. (Demonstrated in human)
[Mus musculus] Baiap2l1 recruits Ube2i to sumoylate Pcbp2, which causes its cytoplasmic translocation during viral infection and the sumoylated Pcbp2 associates with Mavs to initiate its degradation, leading to downregulation of antiviral responses.
Entrez Gene
Summary The protein encoded by this gene appears to be multifunctional. Along with PCBP-1 and hnRNPK, it is one of the major cellular poly(rC)-binding proteins. The encoded protein contains three K-homologous (KH) domains which may be involved in RNA binding. Together with PCBP-1, this protein also functions as a translational coactivator of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specific interaction with stem-loop IV of the IRES, promoting poliovirus RNA replication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. It has also been implicated in translational control of the 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, and hepatitis A virus RNA. The encoded protein is also suggested to play a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNP complex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability. This multiexon structural mRNA is thought to be retrotransposed to generate PCBP-1, an intronless gene with functions similar to that of PCBP2. This gene and PCBP-1 have paralogous genes (PCBP3 and PCBP4) which are thought to have arisen as a result of duplication events of entire genes. Thsi gene also has two processed pseudogenes (PCBP2P1 and PCBP2P2). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
