UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q8SWR8 (Q8SWR8)
Gene Name:
Atx2
Organism: Drosophila melanogaster (Fruit fly)
Function: RNA binding protein that regulates various processes including circadian behaviors, actin filament formation, eye development and oocyte formation (PubMed:12524342, PubMed:28388438). Forms a complex with tyf and pAbp which functions in adult circadian pacemaker neurons to sustain circadian rhythms likely by switching between activator and repressor modes of post-transcriptional regulation via interaction with Lsm12a or me31B (PubMed:28388438). Forms an activator complex (Atx2-tyf activator complex) via association with Lsm12a and activates the TYF-dependent translation of per to maintain 24 hour periodicity in circadian locomotor behaviors (PubMed:28388438). Forms a repressor complex (Atx2-Not1 repressor complex) via the me31B-dependent association with Not1 to promote Not1-dependent post-transcriptional gene silencing and support high-amplitude circadian rhythms in a per-independent manner (PubMed:28388438). Regulates actin filament formation, though it does not directly assemble with actin filaments (PubMed:12524342). Required for oocyte specification and oocyte positioning in the female germline (PubMed:12524342). Also required for normal eye development and bristle morphology (PubMed:12524342)
