Activity summary

GNL2 also known as nucleolar GTP-binding protein 2 functions mechanistically as a GTP-binding protein involved in ribosome biogenesis. With a mass of approximately 68 kDa GNL2 participates in nucleolar processes. Expression of GNL2 occurs broadly within tissues but shows notable presence in proliferative cells. It belongs to the MMR1/HSR1 GTP-binding protein family.

Biological function summary

GNL2 interacts as part of the nucleolar complex that contributes to ribosome assembly and maturation. It assists in the stabilization and processing of ribosomal RNA precursors aiding in the production of functional ribosomes necessary for protein synthesis. This connection highlights its role in cellular proliferation and homeostasis particularly within fast-dividing cells.

Pathways

GNL2 interacts with several important cellular processes beyond its primary role in ribosome biogenesis. It integrates into the cell cycle regulatory pathway influencing cell cycle progression and growth. GNL2 also shows involvement with proteins such as nucleolin and nucleophosmin partners essential for its function in ribosome maturation and the regulation of nucleolar structure.

Associated diseases and disorders

GNL2 exerts influence on conditions associated with abnormal cell proliferation. It has a connection to cancers given its role in accelerating ribosome biogenesis and supporting high proliferation rates in tumor cells. GNL2's dysregulation links it with oncogenic processes often interacting with proteins like p53 an essential regulator in cancer pathways. Additionally aberrant GNL2 expression might relate to disorders involving disrupted cell cycle control.
