question: Which are the main functions of G3BP1 and G3BP2 proteins?
answer: The main functions of G3BP1 and/or G3BP2 include translation of interferon stimulated mRNAs during dengue virus infection, initiation of assembly of stress granules, regulation of PMP22 mRNA which was found to affect cell proliferation in breast cancer cells, participation in several signaling pathways involved in growth, differentiation and apoptosis in human tumor cells after overexpression, limit viral replication events during Sindbis virus (SINV) infection, and modulation of p53 and MDM2 activity.
