Also known as LEMD7Lem4
Summary
ANKLE2 (ankyrin repeat and LEM domain containing 2, HGNC:29101) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.33, encoding Ankyrin repeat and LEM domain-containing protein 2 (Q86XL3). Involved in mitotic nuclear envelope reassembly by promoting dephosphorylation of BAF/BANF1 during mitotic exit. It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 100.0% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes a member of the LEM family of inner nuclear membrane proteins. The encoded protein functions as a mitotic regulator through postmitotic formation of the nuclear envelope. Mutations in this gene cause morphology defects in the nuclear envelope and BAF hyperphosphorylation.

- By coordinating VRK-1- and PP2A-mediated signaling on BAF, Lem4 and LEM-4L (Y55F3BR.8) controls postmitotic nuclear envelope formation in a function conserved from worms to humans. (PMID:22770216)
- ANKLE2 acetylation at K302 and phosphorylation at S662 are dynamically regulated throughout the cell cycle by SIRT2 and are essential for normal nuclear envelope reassembly. (PMID:27875273)
- Absence of ANKLE2 severely compromises the post mitotic re-association of the nuclear proteins BAF, LAP2alpha and LaminA to chromosomes. These defects give rise to a strong mechanical instability of the nuclear envelope in telophase and to a chromosomal instability leading to increased number of hyperploid cells. (PMID:29254732)

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Involved in mitotic nuclear envelope reassembly by promoting dephosphorylation of BAF/BANF1 during mitotic exit. Coordinates the control of BAF/BANF1 dephosphorylation by inhibiting VRK1 kinase and promoting dephosphorylation of BAF/BANF1 by protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A), thereby facilitating nuclear envelope assembly. May regulate nuclear localization of VRK1 in non-dividing cells. It is unclear whether it acts as a real PP2A regulatory subunit or whether it is involved in recruitment of the PP2A complex. Involved in brain development.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with BAF/BANF1. Interacts with protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) components PPP2C (PPP2CA or PPP2CB) and PPP2R1A. (Microbial infection) May interact with non-structural protein 4A/NS4A from Zika virus strains Mr-766 or French Polynesia 10087PF/2013; the interaction may inhibit ANKLE2 function and contribute to defects in brain development, such as microcephaly.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Disease relevance. Microcephaly 16, primary, autosomal recessive (MCPH16) [MIM:616681] A form of microcephaly, a disease defined as a head circumference more than 3 standard deviations below the age, sex and ethnically matched mean. Brain weight is markedly reduced and the cerebral cortex is disproportionately small. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the ANKLE2 family.

A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
