Also known as WBP-2GRAMD6
Summary
WBP2 (WW domain binding protein 2, HGNC:12738) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17q25.1, encoding WW domain-binding protein 2 (Q969T9). Acts as a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen and progesterone receptors (ESR1 and PGR) upon hormone activation.
The globular WW domain is composed of 38 to 40 semiconserved amino acids shared by proteins of diverse functions including structural, regulatory, and signaling proteins. The domain is involved in mediating protein-protein interactions through the binding of polyproline ligands. This gene encodes a WW domain binding protein that is a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen receptor alpha and progesterone receptor. Defects in this gene have been associated with hearing impairment.

Function. Acts as a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen and progesterone receptors (ESR1 and PGR) upon hormone activation. In presence of estrogen, binds to ESR1-responsive promoters. Synergizes with YAP1 to enhance PGR activity. Modulates expression of post-synaptic scaffolding proteins via regulation of ESR1, ESR2 and PGR.
Subunit / interactions. Binds to the WW domain of YAP1, WWP1 and WWP2. Interacts with NEDD4. Interacts with ESR1 and UBE3A.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Nucleus.
Tissue specificity. Ubiquitous.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated in repsonse to EGF as well as estrogen and progesterone hormones. Tyr-192 and Tyr-231 are phosphorylated by YES and SRC inducing nuclear translocation.
Disease relevance. Deafness, autosomal recessive, 107 (DFNB107) [MIM:617639] A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The PPxY motif 1 mediates interaction with NEDD4. The PPxY motif 2 is required for the coactivation function.
