Ras-associating (RA) domain found in apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 protein 2 (ASPP2)
ASPP2, also termed Bcl2-binding protein (Bbp), or renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-51, or tumor suppressor p53-binding protein 2 (53BP2), or p53-binding protein 2 (p53BP2), is a member of ASPP protein family and it functions as a tumor suppressor. ASPP2 binds to p53 and enhances p53-mediated transcription of proapoptotic genes. ASSP2 contains a RA domain at the N-terminus. The RA domain is a ubiquitin-like domain and RA domain-containing proteins are involved in several different functions ranging from tumor 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 tumor cells.
Feature 1: key conserved lysine K48, 1 residue position
Conserved feature residue pattern:[KR]
Evidence:
Comment:K48/R (Ub numbering) is one of 7 lysines involved in chain linkage in ubiquitin (K6, K11, K27, K29, K33, K48, or K63, Ub numbering), the other 6 lysines are not conserved in this subfamily; may have other functions
