Protein Domain : LsmAD domain IPR009604

Type  Domain
Description  This domain can be found in eukaryotic ataxin-2 [ ]. Ataxin-2 is predicted to consist of mostly non-globular domains []. This domain has been shown to interact with RNA helicase DDX6 [].Ataxin-2 has many functions, such as endocytic receptor cycling [ ], translational regulation, embryonic development [], energy metabolism and weight regulation []. Mutations of the Ataxin-2 gene cause spinocerebellar ataxia 2 (SCA2), a neurodegenerative disorder leading to predominant loss of Purkinje cells in the cerebellum and impairment of motor coordination [ ]. In SCA2, expansion of a CAG repeat in exon 1 of the Ataxin-2 (ATXN2) gene causes expansion of a polyQ domain in the ATXN2 protein []. ATXN2 has been shown to interact with many proteins. It interacts with multiple RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), staufen, IP3R, RGS8 mRNA, endophilins and CIN85 [].Proteins containing this domain also include Pbp1 from budding yeasts, Pbp1 interacts with Pab1 to regulate mRNA polyadenylation [ , ]. It promotes mating-type switching in mother cells by positively regulating HO mRNA translation [] and forms a condensate in response to respiratory status to regulate TORC1 signaling []. It is also involved in P-body-dependent granule assembly [].
