Summary

EYA2 (EYA transcriptional coactivator and phosphatase 2, HGNC:3520) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 20q13.12, encoding Protein phosphatase EYA2 (O00167). Functions both as protein phosphatase and as transcriptional coactivator for SIX1, and probably also for SIX2, SIX4 and SIX5.

This gene encodes a member of the eyes absent (EYA) family of proteins. The encoded protein may be post-translationally modified and may play a role in eye development. A similar protein in mice can act as a transcriptional activator. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length natures of all of these variants have not yet been determined.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Functions both as protein phosphatase and as transcriptional coactivator for SIX1, and probably also for SIX2, SIX4 and SIX5. Tyrosine phosphatase that dephosphorylates ‘Tyr-142’ of histone H2AX (H2AXY142ph) and promotes efficient DNA repair via the recruitment of DNA repair complexes containing MDC1. ‘Tyr-142’ phosphorylation of histone H2AX plays a central role in DNA repair and acts as a mark that distinguishes between apoptotic and repair responses to genotoxic stress. Its function as histone phosphatase may contribute to its function in transcription regulation during organogenesis. Plays an important role in hypaxial muscle development together with SIX1 and DACH2; in this it is functionally redundant with EYA1.

Subunit / interactions. Interacts with DACH2 and SIX1, and probably with SIX2, SIX4 and SIX5. Interacts with CAPN8. Interacts with GNAZ and GNAI2; this precludes interaction with SIX1.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Tissue specificity. Highest expression in muscle with lower levels in kidney, placenta, pancreas, brain and heart.

Cofactor. Binds 1 Mg(2+) ion per subunit.

Similarity. Belongs to the HAD-like hydrolase superfamily. EYA family.
