Function | Single-stranded nucleic acid binding protein that binds preferentially to oligo dC (PubMed:7607214, PubMed:12414943). Major cellular poly(rC)-binding protein (PubMed:12414943). Binds also poly(rU) (PubMed:12414943). Acts as a negative regulator of antiviral signaling (PubMed:19881509, PubMed:35322803). Negatively regulates cellular antiviral responses mediated by MAVS signaling (PubMed:19881509). It acts as an adapter between MAVS and the E3 ubiquitin ligase ITCH, therefore triggering MAVS ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:19881509). Negativeley regulates the cGAS-STING pathway via interaction with CGAS, preventing the formation of liquid- like droplets in which CGAS is activated (PubMed:35322803). Together with PCBP1, required for erythropoiesis, possibly by regulating mRNA splicing (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Loosely bound in the nucleus (PubMed:7607214). May shuttle between the nucleus and the cytoplasm (PubMed:7607214). |

Background
The protein encoded by this gene appears to bemultifunctional. Along with PCBP-1 and hnRNPK, it is one of themajor cellular poly(rC)-binding proteins. The encoded proteincontains three K-homologous (KH) domains which may be involved inRNA binding. Together with PCBP-1, this protein also functions as atranslational coactivator of poliovirus RNA via a sequence-specificinteraction with stem-loop IV of the IRES, promoting poliovirus RNAreplication by binding to its 5'-terminal cloverleaf structure. Ithas also been implicated in translational control of the15-lipoxygenase mRNA, human papillomavirus type 16 L2 mRNA, andhepatitis A virus RNA. The encoded protein is also suggested toplay a part in formation of a sequence-specific alpha-globin mRNPcomplex which is associated with alpha-globin mRNA stability. Thismultiexon structural mRNA is thought to be retrotransposed togenerate PCBP-1, an intronless gene with functions similar to thatof PCBP2. This gene and PCBP-1 have paralogous genes (PCBP3 andPCBP4) which are thought to have arisen as a result of duplicationevents of entire genes. Thsi gene also has two processedpseudogenes (PCBP2P1 and PCBP2P2). Multiple transcript variantsencoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
