Background

AIMP2, Aminoacyl tRNA synthetase complex-interacting multifunctional protein 2, also known as AIMP2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AIMP2 gene. AIMP2 encodes a predicted 312-amino acid protein. The AIMP2 gene is located on chromosome 7p22 flanked by two genes, HRI and PMS2. AIMP2 and HRI overlap slightly and are arranged in a tail-to-tail fashion. AIMP2 and PMS2 are separated by approximately 200 base pairs and are arranged head-to-head. AIMP2 is transcribed in the opposite ion compared to HRI and PMS2. AIMP2 is a scaffold required for the assembly and stability of the multi-tRNA synthetase complex. AIMP2 can work as a mediator of TGF-beta signaling and its functional importance in the control of MYC during lung differentiation.

Function

Required for assembly and stability of the aminoacyl- tRNA synthase complex. Mediates ubiquitination and degradation of FUBP1, a transcriptional activator of MYC, leading to MYC down- regulation which is required for aveolar type II cell differentiation. Blocks MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53/TP53. Functions as a proapoptotic factor. .
