Summary

SHOC2 (SHOC2 leucine rich repeat scaffold protein, HGNC:15454) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10q25.2, encoding Leucine-rich repeat protein SHOC-2 (Q9UQ13). Core component of the SHOC2-MRAS-PP1c (SMP) holophosphatase complex that regulates activation of the MAPK pathway. It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 17.4% of cell lines).

This gene encodes a protein that consists almost entirely of leucine-rich repeats, a domain implicated in protein-protein interactions. The protein may function as a scaffold linking RAS to downstream signal transducers in the RAS/ERK MAP kinase signaling cascade. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Noonan-like syndrome with loose anagen hair.

Function. Core component of the SHOC2-MRAS-PP1c (SMP) holophosphatase complex that regulates activation of the MAPK pathway. Acts as a scaffolding protein in the SMP complex. The SMP complex specifically dephosphorylates the inhibitory phosphorylation at ‘Ser-259’ of RAF1 kinase, ‘Ser-365’ of BRAF kinase and ‘Ser-214’ of ARAF kinase, stimulating their kinase activities. The SMP complex enhances the dephosphorylation activity and substrate specificity of PP1c.

Subunit / interactions. Component of the SHOC2-MRAS-PP1c (SMP) complex consisting of SHOC2, GTP-bound M-Ras/MRAS and the catalytic subunit of protein phosphatase 1 (either PPP1CA, PPP1CB or PPP1CC). SHOC2 and PP1c preferably bind M-Ras/MRAS, but they also bind K-Ras/KRAS, N-Ras/NRAS and H-Ras/HRAS; these interactions are GTP-dependent and both SHOC2 and PP1c are required to form a stable complex. Interacts with PP1c in the absence of Ras GTPases. Interacts with M-Ras/MRAS and RAF1. Interacts with ERBIN; disrupts the interaction with RAF1 and Ras, preventing the activation of the Ras signaling pathway. Interacts with LZTR1.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Disease relevance. Noonan syndrome-like disorder with loose anagen hair 1 (NSLH1) [MIM:607721] A syndrome characterized by Noonan dysmorphic features such as macrocephaly, high forehead, hypertelorism, palpebral ptosis, low-set and posteriorly rotated ears, short and webbed neck, pectus anomalies, in association with pluckable, sparse, thin and slow-growing hair. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Domain organisation. Contains a N-terminal RVxF motif that is important for interaction with PP1c. PP1c (all isoforms) binds to the concave side of SHOC2, via LRR 2-5, 8-11, and 13-18. M-Ras/MRAS binds to the concave side of SHOC2, via LRR 1-10, 12 and 14-16.

Similarity. Belongs to the SHOC2 family.

Enriched among interaction partners

Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 38 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.
