gene geneOn this page
Summary
RGS2 (regulator of G protein signaling 2, HGNC:9998) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1q31.2, encoding Regulator of G-protein signaling 2 (P41220). Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades.
Regulator of G protein signaling (RGS) family members are regulatory molecules that act as GTPase activating proteins (GAPs) for G alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins. RGS proteins are able to deactivate G protein subunits of the Gi alpha, Go alpha and Gq alpha subtypes. They drive G proteins into their inactive GDP-bound forms. Regulator of G protein signaling 2 belongs to this family. The protein acts as a mediator of myeloid differentiation and may play a role in leukemogenesis.

All UniProt accessions (1): P41220
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Regulates G protein-coupled receptor signaling cascades. Inhibits signal transduction by increasing the GTPase activity of G protein alpha subunits, thereby driving them into their inactive GDP-bound form. It is involved in the negative regulation of the angiotensin-activated signaling pathway. Plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure in response to signaling via G protein-coupled receptors and GNAQ. Plays a role in regulating the constriction and relaxation of vascular smooth muscle. Binds EIF2B5 and blocks its activity, thereby inhibiting the translation of mRNA into protein.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with GNAQ. Does not interact with GNAI1 and GNAI3. Interacts with EIF2B5. Interacts with PRKG1 (isoform alpha). Interacts with FBXO44; this interaction mediates RGS2 ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Nucleolus Cell membrane. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated by protein kinase C. Phosphorylation by PRKG1 leads to activation of RGS2 activity. Phosphorylation of Ser-3 protects RGS2 from FBXO44-mediated proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitinated by the cullin-RING ligase (CRL) complex composed of CUL4B, DDB1 and FBXO44; ubiquitination leads to RGS2 proteasomal degradation.
Miscellaneous. Lacks type V adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibitory function. Lacks type V adenylyl cyclase (AC) inhibitory function.
