Target Details for AIMP2

Target: AIMP2 (Aminoacyl tRNA Synthetase Complex-Interacting Multifunctional Protein 2 (AIMP2))

Alternative Name: AIMP2

Background: AIMP2 was initially identified as a part of an aminoacyl-tRNA synthesase complex (1). It was later discovered to be a cofactor and substrate of Parkin, a Ring-type E3 ubiquitin ligase that is important for the survival of dopamine neurons in Parkinson's disease, accumulation of AIMP2 in these cells lead to catecholaminergic cell death (2). AIMP2 can also bind to TRAF2, a key player in the TNF-alpha signaling pathway, causing the ubiquitination of TRAF2 by cIAP1, leading to TNF-alpha-dependent apoptosis (3). Finally, AIMP2 has been suggested to function as a tumor suppressor (4).
