Secondary Information

Protein Function is required for assembly and stability of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthase complex.role in the aggregation of α-synuclein in mice.Blocks MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53/TP53. Functions as a proapoptotic factor.But a splicing variant of AIMP2 lacking exon 2, referred to as AIMP2-DX2, is oncogenic and compromises the pro-apoptotic activity of AIMP2 by competing with it for p53 and TRAF2.
Biochemical Properties is a homodimer with interaction speculated to be mediated by the C Terminal GST domain.While its splice variant DX2 seems to be in a dynamic equilibrium between the monomer and dimer in solution state.

Significance of PTMs Upon DNA damage, AIMP2 was phosphorylated on Serine residue by JNk, dissociated from the multi-tRNA synthetase complex, and translocated into the nuclei of cells. AIMP2 directly interacts with p53, thereby preventing MDM2-mediated ubiquitination and degradation of p53.Both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated AIMP2 bound to p53 have similar affinities.
Additional Comments AIMP2 knockdown ameliorated the α-synuclein aggregation and dopaminergic cell death in response to PFF or 6-hydroxydopamine treatment.
