Background

Human Pygopus-2 (pygopus; the name of a legless Australian lizard) is a 41 kDa, 406 amino acid (aa) transcriptional coactivator.  It contains three domains: an N‑terminal NLS (aa 41-47), followed by a proline-rich region and a zinc-finger PHD-type domain (aa 330-387).  A potential internal alternate start site may generate an isoform that deletes the first 37 aa.  Pygopus 2 is a nuclear protein that acts in concert with BCL-9 and TCF to retain beta -Catenin in the nucleus during Wnt-signaling.  It does so by forming a “chain-of-adaptors” with the above three proteins.  Over the range of aa used for immunization, human pygopus 2 is 95% identical to mouse.
