Summary
UPF2 (UPF2 regulator of nonsense mediated mRNA decay, HGNC:17854) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 10p14, encoding Regulator of nonsense transcripts 2 (Q9HAU5). Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by associating with the nuclear exon junction complex (EJC). It is a common-essential gene (DepMap: required in 98.8% of cancer cell lines).
This gene encodes a protein that is part of a post-splicing multiprotein complex involved in both mRNA nuclear export and mRNA surveillance. mRNA surveillance detects exported mRNAs with truncated open reading frames and initiates nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). When translation ends upstream from the last exon-exon junction, this triggers NMD to degrade mRNAs containing premature stop codons. This protein is located in the perinuclear area. It interacts with translation release factors and the proteins that are functional homologs of yeast Upf1p and Upf3p. Two splice variants have been found for this gene; both variants encode the same protein.

Regulator of nonsense transcripts 2 — Q9HAU5 (reviewed: Q9HAU5)
Alternative names: Up-frameshift suppressor 2 homolog
All UniProt accessions (1): Q9HAU5
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Involved in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by associating with the nuclear exon junction complex (EJC). Recruited by UPF3B associated with the EJC core at the cytoplasmic side of the nuclear envelope and the subsequent formation of an UPF1-UPF2-UPF3 surveillance complex (including UPF1 bound to release factors at the stalled ribosome) is believed to activate NMD. In cooperation with UPF3B stimulates both ATPase and RNA helicase activities of UPF1. Binds spliced mRNA.
Subunit / interactions. Found in a post-splicing messenger ribonucleoprotein (mRNP) complex. Associates with the exon junction complex (EJC). Interacts with SMG1, EST1A, UPF1, UPF3A, UPF3B, EIF4A1 and EIF1.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Perinuclear region.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 106 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.
