| Description | This entry represents the RA domain of ASPP2. ASPP2, also termed Bcl2-binding protein (Bbp), or renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-51, or tumour suppressor p53-binding protein 2 (53BP2), or p53-binding protein 2 (p53BP2), is a member of ASPP protein family and it functions as a tumour suppressor [, , , ]. ASPP2 binds to p53 and enhances p53-mediated transcription of proapoptotic genes. ASSP2 contains a RA domain at the N-terminal. The RA domain is a ubiquitin-like domain and RA domain-containing proteins are involved in several different functions ranging from tumour suppression to being oncoproteins []. All p53 amino acids that are important for ASPP2 binding are mutated in human cancer, and ASPP2 is frequently downregulated in these tumour cells [, , , ]. |
