    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • a nuclear export signal
  • N-terminal S/T-P motifs
  • an central adenovirus E1A CR2-like motif
  • a WASP homology 2 domain, connector,
  • a acidic region (WWWCA), sufficient to promote actin-based bead motility in cytoplasmic extracts, and this activity depends on its ability to activate the Arp2/3 complex
  • two p300-binding domains
  • a C-terminal proline-rich region, and C-terminus of JMY comprises a canonical VCA-module, the sequence signature of Arp2/3 complex activators
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Jmy (90.9 pc)
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • p53 family
  • CATEGORY regulatory , protooncogene

    text
  • in various cell lines JMY is predominantly cytoplasmic, with a minor fraction in the nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • inducing growth arrest or apoptosis depending on the physiological circumstances and cell type
  • regulating negatively cell division by controlling a set of genes required for this process, like an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases
  • may play a role in the apoptosis induction mediated either by stimulation of BAX and FAS antigen expression, or by repression of BCL2 expression
  • having two nucleating activities by activating Arp2/3 complex and assembling filaments directly using a Spire-like mechanism (Zuchero, 2009)
  • TP53 cofactor that was recently shown to nucleate actin assembly by a hybrid mechanism involving tandem actin monomer binding and Arp2/3 complex activation
  • having a function as a modulator of neuritogenesis
  • regulator of both transcription and actin filament assembly. In response to DNA damage
  • transcriptional co-factor in the TP53-response to DNA damage
  • JMY drives vesicular trafficking in the trans-Golgi region and at ER-membrane contact sites (MCS), distinct from other Arp2/3 activators involved in vesicle transport processes
  • JMY shows similar localization to WHAMM and could be involved in similar processes.

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with EP300, which are ubiquitous transcriptional co-activators that interact with a variety of sequence-specific transcription factors, including hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF1A)
  • accumulates in the nucleus and promotes TP53-dependent apoptosis
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    induced by DNA damage
    small molecule inhibitors of Mdm2 activity
    Other ubiquitin-dependent degradation promoted by MDM2
    activity is regulated by sequestration in the nucleus
    increased level enhances motility whereas loss of JMY slows cell migration
