"ASXL2-BAP1 interactions have been shown to play a role in the suppression of solid tumorigenesis (e.g., human mesotheliomas and lung cancers), and ASXL2-BAP1 complexes, similar to ASXL1-BAP1 complexes, demonstrated to interact with BAP1-interacting proteins (e.g., YY1, FOXK1/2, OGT, and HCF1) [ xref ]."

"Because most ASXL2 mutations are out-of-frame frameshift mutations in exons 11 and 12, at least in AML with t (18;21) [ xref ], the BAP1 binding region in ASXL2 is also unaffected, although it remains to be determined whether truncated ASXL2-BAP1 complexes exhibit enhanced DUB activity."

"To test this hypothesis and to explain how mutations/deletions/truncations occurring in either ULD or UCH domains inactivate BAP1 in cancer, we used computer predicted molecular modeling of these proteins as a guide and biochemically characterized the protein-protein and/or domain-domain interactions of BAP1 and ASXL2 in vivo and in vitro using highly purified recombinant proteins, in coordination with BAP1 ubiquitin enzymatic activity."

"Importantly, these new studies elucidate the molecular dynamics of these interactions, measure the kinetic and stoichiometric impact of mutations on protein binding and on the enzymatic activity of BAP1, and provide novel insights about the structural and dynamic parameters of the BAP1-ASXL2 interaction into single cell datasets that can inform future small-molecule approaches designed to reactivate latent wild-type UCH activity in BAP1 -mutant malignancies."

"Using the structure of Drosophila Calypso UCH/ULD interaction with ASX (PDB 6HGC) converted into human BAP1 UCH/ULD and ASXL2 merged with our previous models of interaction with H2A and ubiquitin ( xref ), we can pinpoint the human contact maps of the ULD with ASXL2 with high confidence ( xref , xref )."
