Overview of Gene Research
Abraxas2, also known as KIAA0157 and FAM175B, is a scaffolding protein within the BRCC3 isopeptidase complex (BRISC). BRISC is a K63-specific deubiquitinase complex crucial for cellular signaling pathways, such as inflammation and the regulation of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling [1,2]. Abraxas2 is essential for BRCC36 enzymatic activity in BRISC, which has implications in DNA repair and immune regulation [5].
In a study, Kiaa0157 deficiency in mice led to an expansion of phenotypic and functional hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs). This indicates that Abraxas2, through BRISC, limits HSC expansion by regulating JAK2 K63-ubiquitination [2]. Additionally, in human endometrium of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients, Lasso regression analysis found that Abraxas2 was associated with miscarriage in PCOS patients [3]. Also, in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, FAM175B (Abraxas2) inhibited ATF4 ubiquitination and promoted cell apoptosis in a p53-independent manner, and its expression loss may be an early diagnostic biomarker [4].
In summary, Abraxas2 is vital for the function of the BRISC complex, playing a role in multiple biological processes. Findings from gene-knockout (KO) mouse models and other functional studies have revealed its significance in hematopoietic stem cell regulation, PCOS-related miscarriage, and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. These studies provide insights into the biological functions of Abraxas2 and its potential implications in related disease areas.
