    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

    motifs/domains
  • actin-binding domain
  • the Src homology 2 (SH2) domain
  • the phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain , that predominantly interacts with a novel site on DLC1, not the canonical NPXY motif
  • C1 domain localised preferentially to the nucleus
  • a phosphatase (PTPase) domain that revealed an active site-like pocket receptive towards phosphoinositides

    basic FUNCTION
  • plays a role in regulating cell motility
  • intracellular phosphatase that negatively regulates the Akt/PKB signaling cascade, and is similar to its relative PTEN in this respect
  • inhibit cell growth, enhance serum withdrawal-induced apoptosis, and specifically downregulate the PI3K/Akt signalling pathway
  • thought to act as links between the extracellular matrix and the cytoskeleton, and thereby mediate signaling for cell shape and motility
  • large intracellular proteins believed to link the extracellular matrix to the cytoskeleton via integrins
  • negatively regulates the Akt signalling pathway and enhances apoptosis in addition to inhibiting cell migration
  • focal adhesion-localized tensin 2 which negatively regulates DLC1 to permit Rho-mediated actomyosin contraction and remodeling of collagen fibers
  • in addition to regulating cytoskeletal dynamics, influences phosphoinositide-Akt signalling through its PTPase domain
  • have the potential to be phosphatases as only their PTPase domains house a cysteine residue that is essential for catalytic activity
  • may have the unique ability amongst its family members to regulate both cytoskeletal dynamics and survival signalling pathways in parallel
  • important new mediator in THPO/MPL pathway and has a positive affect on cellular growth, at least in part through its effect on the PI3K/Akt signaling
  • distinct differences in the cellular expression of TNS1, TENC1, and TNS3, suggesting that they may be able to function independently of each other in the kidney and the small intestine
  • is an intracellular actin-binding protein that bridges the intracellular portion of transmembrane receptors to the cytoskeleton, thereby regulating signalling for cell shape and motility
  • role of TNS2 as a relevant PTPase contributing to skeletal muscle atrophy

    protein
  • interacts with DLC1 in a PTB domain-dependent manner
  • interaction between DISC1 and TNS2
  • TNS2 is a novel protein tyrosine phosphatase (PTPase) of IRS1 that acts as a mediator to reduce IRS1 under a catabolic condition, resulting in muscle atrophy
