UniProt functional annotation for P47974



	UniProt functional annotation for P47974

UniProt code: P47974.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).

Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.

Function: Zinc-finger RNA-binding protein that destabilizes several cytoplasmic AU-rich element (ARE)-containing mRNA transcripts by promoting their poly(A) tail removal or deadenylation, and hence provide a mechanism for attenuating protein synthesis (PubMed:25106868, PubMed:14981510). Acts as a 3'-untranslated region (UTR) ARE mRNA- binding adapter protein to communicate signaling events to the mRNA decay machinery (PubMed:25106868). Functions by recruiting the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex and probably other components of the cytoplasmic RNA decay machinery to the bound ARE-containing mRNAs, and hence promotes ARE-mediated mRNA deadenylation and decay processes (PubMed:25106868). Binds to 3'-UTR ARE of numerous mRNAs (PubMed:20506496, PubMed:25106868, PubMed:14981510). Promotes ARE- containing mRNA decay of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) mRNA in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment in a p38 MAPK-dependent manner (PubMed:25106868). Positively regulates early adipogenesis by promoting ARE-mediated mRNA decay of immediate early genes (IEGs). Plays a role in mature peripheral neuron integrity by promoting ARE-containing mRNA decay of the transcriptional repressor REST mRNA. Plays a role in ovulation and oocyte meiotic maturation by promoting ARE-mediated mRNA decay of the luteinizing hormone receptor LHCGR mRNA. Acts as a negative regulator of erythroid cell differentiation: promotes glucocorticoid-induced self-renewal of erythroid cells by binding mRNAs that are induced or highly expressed during terminal erythroid differentiation and promotes their degradation, preventing erythroid cell differentiation. In association with ZFP36L1 maintains quiescence on developing B lymphocytes by promoting ARE-mediated decay of several mRNAs encoding cell cycle regulators that help B cells progress through the cell cycle, and hence ensuring accurate variable-diversity-joining (VDJ) recombination process and functional immune cell formation. Together with ZFP36L1 is also necessary for thymocyte development and prevention of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) transformation by promoting ARE-mediated mRNA decay of the oncogenic transcription factor NOTCH1 mRNA. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23949, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14981510, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20506496, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25106868}.

Subunit: Associates with the cytoplasmic CCR4-NOT deadenylase to trigger ARE-containing mRNA deadenylation and decay processes (PubMed:25106868). Interacts with CNOT7; this interaction is inhibited in response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment in a p38 MAPK-dependent manner (PubMed:25106868). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25106868}.

Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23949}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23949}. Note=Shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm in a XPO1/CRM1-dependent manner. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23949}.

Tissue specificity: Expressed mainly in the basal epidermal layer, weakly in the suprabasal epidermal layers (PubMed:27182009). Expressed in epidermal keratinocytes (at protein level) (PubMed:27182009). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:27182009}.

Induction: Up-regulated by butyrate in colorectal cancer cells (PubMed:10367403). Up-regulated in keratinocytes after wounding (PubMed:20166898, PubMed:27182009). Up-regulated strongly by granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) in keratinocytes (PubMed:20166898). Up-regulated moderately by transforming growth factor (TGF-beta), epidermal growth factor (EGF), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) and fibroblast growth factor (FGF1) in keratinocytes (PubMed:20166898). Up-regulated also by glucocorticoid dexamethasone in keratinocytes (PubMed:20166898). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10367403, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20166898, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27182009}.

Ptm: Phosphorylated by RPS6KA1 at Ser-490 and Ser-492 upon phorbol 12- myristate 13-acetate (PMA) treatment; this phosphorylation results in dissociation of the CCR4-NOT-deadenylase complex and induces p38 MAPK- mediated stabilization of the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor (LDLR) mRNA (PubMed:25106868). Phosphorylation occurs during early preadipocyte differentiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P23949, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25106868}.

Disease: Note=Defects in ZFP36L2 may be a cause of leukemias. Frameshift mutations disrupting ZFP36L2 have been found in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia (PubMed:21109922). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21109922}.
