Also known as MGC2491

Summary

CUEDC2 (CUE domain containing 2, HGNC:28352) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q24.32, encoding CUE domain-containing protein 2 (Q9H467). Down-regulates ESR1 protein levels through the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway, regardless of the presence of 17 beta-estradiol.

Predicted to enable ubiquitin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of cytokine production involved in inflammatory response and negative regulation of macrophage cytokine production. Located in cytosol; nuclear membrane; and nucleoplasm.

All UniProt accessions (1): Q9H467

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Down-regulates ESR1 protein levels through the ubiquitination-proteasome pathway, regardless of the presence of 17 beta-estradiol. Also involved in 17 beta-estradiol-induced ESR1 degradation. Controls PGR protein levels through a similar mechanism.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PGR. Interacts with ESR1 in the presence or absence of 17 beta-estradiol.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Significantly up-regulated in breast tumor tissues compared with matched adjacent normal tissues (at protein level). Levels inversely correlate with ESR1 in breast cancers and are lower in low-grade tumors compared to high-grade tumors.

Disease relevance. May predict the clinical outcome of tamoxifen therapy of breast cancer patients. Patients with tumors that highly express CUEDC2 do not respond to tamoxifen treatment as effectively as those with tumors with low expression.

Domain organisation. The CUE domain mediates interaction with PGR and ESR1.

Similarity. Belongs to the CUEDC2 family.
