XRP2_HUMAN Defects in RP2 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 2 (RP2) [MIM:312600; also known as X-linked retinitis pigmentosa 2 (XLRP-2). RP leads to degeneration of retinal photoreceptor cells. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
Function
XRP2_HUMAN Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) involved in trafficking between the Golgi and the ciliary membrane. Involved in localization of proteins, such as NPHP3, to the cilium membrane by inducing hydrolysis of GTP ARL3, leading to the release of UNC119 (or UNC119B). Acts as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for tubulin in concert with tubulin-specific chaperone C, but does not enhance tubulin heterodimerization. Acts as guanine nucleotide dissociation inhibitor towards ADP-ribosylation factor-like proteins.[14][15][16][17]

Publication Abstract from PubMed
The retinitis pigmentosa 2 (RP2) gene is responsible for a particular variant of X chromosome-linked eye disease. Previously, RP2 was shown to bind the GTP form of the small G protein Arf-like 3 (Arl3), thus qualifying as an effector. Here we present the Arl3-GppNHp-RP2 complex structure, which shows features resembling complexes with GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs). Biochemical analysis showing a 90,000-fold stimulation of the GTPase reaction together with the structure of an Arl3-GDP-AlF4--RP2 transition state complex showed that RP2 is an efficient GAP for Arl3, with structural features similar to other GAPs. Furthermore, the effect of mutations in patients with retinitis pigmentosa correlated with their effect on catalysis, in particular the mutation of the arginine finger of RP2. The cognate G protein-GAP pair is conserved in yeast as Cin4-Cin2, and the ability of RP2 to act as a GAP can be correlated with its ability to complement a CIN2-deletion phenotype.
