ID:MSI2H_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=RNA-binding protein Musashi homolog 2; Short=Musashi-2; FUNCTION: RNA binding protein that regulates the expression of target mRNAs at the translation level. May play a role in the proliferation and maintenance of stem cells in the central nervous system (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm. Note=Associated with polysomes (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitous; detected at low levels. INDUCTION: Up-regulated in astrocytes after brain injury (By similarity). PTM: Phosphorylated (By similarity). DISEASE: Note=Chromosomal aberrations involving MSI2 may contribute to disease progression in chronic myeloid leukemia. Translocation t(7;17)(p15;q23) with HOXA9; translocation t(7;17)(q32-34;q23). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Musashi family. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domains. WEB RESOURCE: Name=Atlas of Genetics and Cytogenetics in Oncology and Haematology; URL="http://atlasgeneticsoncology.org/Genes/MSI2ID42893ch17q23.html";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
