Target Species

Human

Target Name

AJUBA

Target Full Name

LIM domain-containing protein ajuba

Target Function

Adapter or scaffold protein which participates in the assembly of numerous protein complexes and is involved in several cellular processes such as cell fate determination, cytoskeletal organization, repression of gene transcription, mitosis, cell-cell adhesion, cell differentiation, proliferation and migration. Contributes to the linking and/or strengthening of epithelia cell-cell junctions in part by linking adhesive receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. May be involved in signal transduction from cell adhesion sites to the nucleus. Plays an important role in regulation of the kinase activity of AURKA for mitotic commitment. Also a component of the IL-1 signaling pathway modulating IL-1-induced NFKB1 activation by influencing the assembly and activity of the PRKCZ-SQSTM1-TRAF6 multiprotein signaling complex. Functions as an HDAC-dependent corepressor for a subset of GFI1 target genes. Acts as a transcriptional corepressor for SNAI1 and SNAI2/SLUG-dependent repression of E-cadherin transcription. Acts as a hypoxic regulator by bridging an association between the prolyl hydroxylases and VHL enabling efficient degradation of HIF1A. Positively regulates microRNA (miRNA)-mediated gene silencing. Negatively regulates the Hippo signaling pathway and antagonizes phosphorylation of YAP1.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Cell junction. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, P-body. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. Localizes on centrosomes during G2-M phase. Preferentially co- localizes with cadherin-adhesive complexes at sites of cell-cell contacts. Colocalizes with GFI1 in the nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Target Synonyms

AJUBA; JUB; LIM domain-containing protein ajuba

Target Background

Enables alpha-catenin binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of hippo signaling; positive regulation of gene silencing by miRNA; and regulation of cellular response to hypoxia. Acts upstream of or within gene silencing by miRNA and positive regulation of protein-containing complex assembly. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; P-body; and nucleoplasm.
