Function
[RBTN2_MOUSE] Acts with TAL1/SCL to regulate red blood cell development. Also acts with LDB1 to maintain erythroid precursors in an immature state.[1]
Publication Abstract from PubMed
LIM-only protein 2, Lmo2, is a regulatory protein that is essential for hematopoietic development and inappropriate overexpression of Lmo2 in T cells contributes to T cell leukaemia. It exerts its functions by mediating protein-protein interactions and nucleating multicomponent transcriptional complexes. Lmo2 interacts with LIM domain binding protein 1 (Ldb1) through the tandem LIM domains of Lmo2 and the LIM interaction domain (LID) of Ldb1. Here we present the solution structure of the LIM2 domain of Lmo2 bound to Ldb1(LID) . The ordered regions of Ldb1 in this complex correspond well with binding hotspots previously defined by mutagenic studies. Comparisons of this Lmo2(LIM2) -Ldb1(LID) structure with previously determined structures of the Lmo2/Ldb1(LID) complexes lead to the conclusion that modular binding of tandem LIM domains in Lmo2 to tandem linear motifs in Ldb1 is accompanied by several disorder-to-order transitions and/or conformational changes in both proteins.
