PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	C terminal large highly conserved domain,the EYA homology domain,
	a basic segment followed by an alpha helical domain composed of four successive repeats forming a leucine zipper

HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

phosphatase subgroup of the haloacid dehalogenase-like (HAD)hydrolase superfamily

CATEGORY

unknown/unspecified , receptor membrane tyrosine phosphatase

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,mitochondria
	intracellular,nucleus

basic FUNCTION	may be involved in eye development
	participating directly in the modulation of cellular signaling through its phosphatase activity
	prevents adverse cardiac remodeling under pressure overload partly through altering metabolic gene expression and preserving PI3K/AKT1/MTOR signaling pathway
	is a necessary co-factor for many of the metastasis promoting functions of SIX1, suggesting that targeting the SIX1-EYA interaction may inhibit breast cancer progression

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component	transcriptional and translational component
	EYA2-SIX1 complex binds to and enhances the expression of MTOR in a synergistic manner

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	SIX1 is dependent on EYA2 to mediate numerous pro-metastatic characteristics
	EYA2 in a physical complex with SIX1 plays a critical role in physiological hypertrophy of heart
	FOXG1 binds to mammalian-specific noncoding sequences to repress over 12 transcription factors expressed in early progenitors, including EBF2/3, DMRT3, DMRTA1, and EYA2
	CDK6 binds to and promotes degradation of the EYA2 protein (interaction suggesting that CDK6 regulates EYA2 activity, a mechanism that could be important in development and in cancer)
