Summary
MICAL2 (microtubule associated monooxygenase, calponin and LIM domain containing 2, HGNC:24693) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 11p15.3, encoding [F-actin]-monooxygenase MICAL2 (O94851). Methionine monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of residues ‘Met-44’ and ‘Met-47’ on actin to form methionine-sulfoxide, resulting in actin filament disassembly and preventing repolymerization.
The protein encoded by this gene is a monooxygenase that enhances depolymerization of F-actin and is therefore involved in cytoskeletal dynamics. The encoded protein is a regulator of the SRF signaling pathway. Increased expression of this gene has been associated with cancer progression and metastasis.

Function. Methionine monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F-actin by mediating oxidation of residues ‘Met-44’ and ‘Met-47’ on actin to form methionine-sulfoxide, resulting in actin filament disassembly and preventing repolymerization. Regulates the disassembly of branched actin networks also by oxidizing ARP3B-containing ARP2/3 complexes leading to ARP3B dissociation from the network. Acts as a key regulator of the SRF signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum: mediates oxidation and subsequent depolymerization of nuclear actin, leading to increase MKL1/MRTF-A presence in the nucleus and promote SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A-dependent gene transcription. Does not activate SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A through RhoA.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with PLXNA4. Interacts with RAB1B. Interacts with MAPK1/ERK2. Interacts with RAB35, RAB8A, RAB10, RAB13 and RAB15 (in their GTP-bound forms); binding to RAB35 is of low affinity compared to other Rab proteins; at least in case of RAB8A may bind 2 molecules of RAB8A simultaneously through a high and a low affinity binding site, respectively. May interact with MAPK1/ERK2. Interacts with CORO1C; this interaction recruits MICAL2 to the actin filaments.
Subcellular location. Nucleus. Cytoplasm.
Activity regulation. Specifically inhibited by CCG-1423, a small molecule inhibitor of SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A-dependent transcription.
Domain organisation. The C-terminal RAB-binding domain (RBD) (1796-1945), also described as bivalent Mical/EHBP Rab binding (bMERB) domain, mediates binding to predominantly RAB8A, RAB10, RAB13 and RAB15 (in their GTP-bound forms).
Similarity. Belongs to the Mical family.

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 56 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). 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.
