PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • a GYF domain, conserved eukaryotic adaptor domain that recognize proline-rich sequences, interact with the GRB10 proline-rich region, and bind AGO2

    CATEGORY regulatory
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane,junction
        intracellular

    basic FUNCTION
  • may acting cooperatively with GRB10 to regulate receptor signaling
  • EIF4E2-GIGYF2 are a cofactor in translational repression and mRNA decay by ZFP36
  • upon tethering to a reporter mRNA, GIGYF2 exhibits strong, dose-dependent silencing activity, involving both mRNA destabilization and translational repression

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • linked to IGF-I receptors by the GRB10 adapter protein following IGF-I stimulation
  • GIGYF2 directly interacts with EIF4E2, and this interaction is required for stabilization of both proteins
  • AGO2 interacting with GIGYF2 through the GYF domain
  • cell & other
