Orb2

Required in mushroom body gamma neurons for long-term memory in male courtship. Binds to mRNA 3'-UTRs. In its monomeric form, acts as a translational repressor of genes involved in neuronal growth, synapse formation and protein turnover. In its amyloid-like oligomeric form, acts as a translational activator. The monomeric form reduces poly(A) tail length and destabilizes mRNA while the oligomeric form protects and elongates the poly(A) tail and stabilizes mRNA. Isoform A is required for initial memory acquisition and, following subsequent late dopaminergic pathway activation, isoform A recruits isoform B into a complex to activate translation of CaMKII which is required for long-term memory consolidation. Involved in asymmetric cell division in the central nervous system. Required for the progression of spermatogenesis through meiosis and for sperm differentiation. During sperm differentiation, required to asymmetrically localize and activate the translation of protein kinase aPKC mRNAs which is necessary for spermatid cyst polarization. Also required during spermatid cyst polarization for localization and translation of its own mRNA.

Cytoplasm
Cytoplasm, perinuclear region
In embryonic and larval nervous system, concentrated in the perikaryon (PubMed:21900268).
In the adult central nervous system, localizes to synaptic terminals (PubMed:21900268).
In the ovary, localizes to the cytoplasm of nurse cells (PubMed:21900268).
Localizes to neuromuscular junctions (PubMed:29105522).
In spermatocytes, localizes throughout the cytoplasm with higher levels concentrated in a ring around the nucleus (PubMed:23209437).
The oligomeric form is enriched in the synaptic region (PubMed:22284910).

PTM
Phosphorylation regulates interaction with Tob and oligomerization. Protein phosphatase 2A keeps both Orb2 and Tob in an unphosphorylated form. Following synaptic activation, unphosphorylated Orb2 is bound and stabilized by unphosphorylated Tob. Tob recruits activated LimK which phosphorylates both Orb2 and Tob and enhances Orb2 oligomerization.
