ID:NR2C2_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Nuclear receptor subfamily 2 group C member 2; AltName: Full=Orphan nuclear receptor TAK1; AltName: Full=Orphan nuclear receptor TR4; AltName: Full=Testicular receptor 4; FUNCTION: Orphan nuclear receptor that can act as a repressor or activator of transcription. An important repressor of nuclear recptor signaling pathways such as retinoic acid receptor, retinoid X, vitamin D3 receptor, thyroid hormone receptor and estrogen receptor pathways. May regulate gene expression during the late phase of spermatogenesis. Together with NR2C1, forms the core of the DRED (direct repeat erythroid-definitive) complex that represses embryonic and fetal globin transcription including that of GATA1. Binds to hormone response elements (HREs) consisting of two 5'-AGGTCA-3' half site direct repeat consensus sequences. Plays a fundamental role in early embryonic development and embryonic stem cells. Required for normal spermatogenesis and cerebellum development. Appears to be important for neurodevelopmentally regulated behavior (By similarity). Activates transcriptional activity of LHCG. Antagonist of PPARA-mediated transactivation. SUBUNIT: Homodimer; can bind DNA as homodimer (By similarity). Heterodimer; binds DNA as a heterodimer with NR2C1 required for chromatin remodeling and for binding to promoter regions such as globin DR1 repeats. Interacts with PCAF; the interaction preferentially occurs on the non-phosphorylated form and induces NR2C2-mediated transactivation activity and does not require the ligand-binding domain. Interacts (MAPK-mediated phosphorylated form) with NRIP1; the interaction promotes repression of NR2C2- mediated activity (By similarity). Interacts with NR2C2AP; the interaction represses selective NR2C2-mediated transcriptional activity. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Transiently repressed during the meiotic phase of spermatogenesis. INDUCTION: Induced by oxidative stress via FOXO3 activation. PTM: Phosphorylation on Ser-19 and Ser-68 is an important regulator of NR2C2-mediated transcriptional activity. Phosphorylation on these residues recruits the corepressor, NRIP1, leading to transcripional repression, whereas the non- phosphorylated form preferentially recruits the coactivator, PCAF (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR2 subfamily. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.
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.
