TARBP2 / TRP channels
Name: RISC-loading complex subunit TARBP2 {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03034}
(TARBP2)
Official Symbol: TARBP2 {ECO:0000255|HAMAP-Rule:MF_03034}

Function:
Required for formation of the RNA induced silencing complex (RISC). Component of the RISC loading complex (RLC), also known as the micro-RNA (miRNA) loading complex (miRLC), which is composed of DICER1, AGO2 and TARBP2. Within the RLC/miRLC, DICER1 and TARBP2 are required to process precursor miRNAs (pre-miRNAs) to mature miRNAs and then load them onto AGO2. AGO2 bound to the mature miRNA constitutes the minimal RISC and may subsequently dissociate from DICER1 and TARBP2. May also play a role in the production of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) from double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) by DICER1. Binds to the HIV-1 TAR RNA which is located in the long terminal repeat (LTR) of HIV-1, and stimulates translation of TAR-containing RNAs. This is achieved in part at least by binding to and inhibiting EIF2AK2/PKR, thereby reducing phosphorylation and inhibition of EIF2S1/eIF-2-alpha. May also promote translation of TAR-containing RNAs independently of EIF2AK2/PKR. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12475984, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15973356, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16142218, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16271387, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16357216, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17452327, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18178619, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19219043}.
