Disease relevance of TARBP2

 

High impact information on TARBP2

  • Here we show that RISC is composed of Dicer, the double-stranded RNA binding protein TRBP, and Argonaute2 [6].
  • In intracellular and in cell-free assays we show that TRBP directly inhibits PKR autophosphorylation through an RNA binding-independent pathway [7].
  • Biologically, TRBP serves a growth-promoting role; cells that overexpress TRBP exhibit transformed phenotypes [7].
  • Our results demonstrate the oncogenic potential of TRBP and are consistent with the notion that intracellular PKR function contributes physiologically towards regulating cellular proliferation [7].
  • In transfection assays, TRBP has also been shown to inhibit the interferon-induced protein kinase PKR possibly by direct physical interaction [8].

Regulatory relationships of TARBP2

 

Other interactions of TARBP2

  • The expression of both CycT1 and TRBP2 had a more than additive activity on RT function in cell extracts and on viral particle production in supernatant of murine cells [16].
  • TRBP promoters are TATA-less but have CCAAT boxes, a CpG island, and several potential binding sites for transcriptional factors [11].
  • TAR RNA-binding protein, TRBP, was recently discovered to be an essential partner for Dicer and a crucial component of the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), a critical element of the RNA interference (RNAi) of the cell apparatus [17].
  • In the human embryonic kidney 293 cell line, the level of endogenous merlin increased, whereas that of endogenous TRBP significantly decreased along with the increase in cell confluence [15].
