RNA-binding protein EWS is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EWSR1 gene on human chromosome 22, specifically 22q12.2. ^{[3] [4]} This region of chromosome 22 encodes the N-terminal transactivation domain of the EWS protein and that region may become joined to one of several other chromosomes which encode various transcription factors, see ^[5] The expression of a chimeric protein with the EWS transactivation domain fused to the DNA binding region of a transcription factor generates a powerful oncogenic protein causing Ewing sarcoma and other members of the Ewing family of tumors. These translocations can occur due to chromoplexy, a burst of complex chromosomal rearrangements seen in cancer cells. ^[6] The normal EWS gene encodes a RNA binding protein closely related to FUS (gene) and TAF15, all of which have been associated to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. ^[7]

Interactions

The EWS protein has been shown to interact with:

• ATF1, ^[8]
• BARD1, ^[9]
• ERG, ^[10]
• POU4F1, ^[11]
• PTK2B ^[12]
• SF1, ^[13]
• SNRPC, ^[14] and
• ZNF165. ^[15]
