motifs/domains
  • four potential nuclear localization signals (NLS)
  • two coiled-coils regions conserved 191AA domain identical to TSPY family
  • Walker motifs A and B
  • a conserved domain with TSPY1, designated as SET/NAP domain
  • C-terminal acidic domain, responsible of inhibitory effect of TSPX on the cyclin B1-CDK1 complex
  • HOMOLOGY
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • nucleosome assembly protein (NAP) family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , transcription factor

    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in negative regulation of DNA regulation
  • playing a role in negative regulation of cell cycle and growth
  • involved in regulation of signal transduction
  • represses the cyclin B1-CDK1 phosphorylation activity
  • could serve a normal function in modulating cell-cycle progression at the G(2)/M stage
  • is essential for the formation of canonical Cajal bodies (CBs), histone transcription, and cell viability
  • serves a biological role in maintaining the G1 checkpoint under stress condition (pMID: 21738728)
  • may not simply regulate nucleotide homeostasis, but may have broader functionality, including control of Cajal Bodies (CBs), assembly and disassembly in the nucleus of human cells
  • nucleosome assembly protein
  • contributes to cognitive variability through regulating the expression of GRIN2A and GRIN2B
  • REST and TSPYL2 are regulators of TGFB1 signaling and cell-cycle arrest induced by TGFB1 requires both REST and TSPYL2
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, replication
    nucleotide, transcription
    nucleotide, RNA splicing

    small molecule
    protein
  • TGFB1 (role in TGFB1 mediated inhibition of anchorage independent growth)
  • binds cyclin B and inhibits cell proliferation, suggesting a role in cell cycle regulation
  • directly interacts with coilin, a marker protein of Cajal Bodies (CBs), nuclear organelles involved in the maturation of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins
  • acts as a novel regulator of RPS14-HDM2-TP53 by regulating the interaction between RPS14 and HDM2 through the control of RPS14 NEDDylation
  • interacts with calmodulin-associated serine/threonine kinase, which is implicated in X-linked mental retardation
  • TSPYL2 regulated the expression of GRIN2A and GRIN2B
  • interaction between TSPYL2 and CREBBP, indicating that TSPYL2 may activate gene expression through binding CREBBP
