UniProt functional annotation for P54939

UniProt code: P54939.

Organism: Gallus gallus (Chicken).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus.
 
Function: Probably involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. Talin is a high molecular weight cytoskeletal protein concentrated at regions of cell-substratum contact and, in lymphocytes, at cell-cell contacts.
 
Subunit: Interacts with PIP5K1C and NRAP (By similarity). Binds with high affinity to vinculin VCL and with low affinity to integrins (PubMed:14702644, PubMed:12535520, PubMed:8937989, PubMed:20610383). Interacts with APBB1IP; this inhibits VCL binding (By similarity). Interacts with F-actin (PubMed:8937989). Interacts with LAYN (PubMed:9786953). Interacts with THSD1. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P26039, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Y490, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12535520, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14702644, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20610383, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8937989, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9786953}.
Subcellular location: Cell projection, ruffle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell surface {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P26039}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P26039}. Note=Colocalizes with LAYN at the membrane ruffles.
Ptm: Phosphorylated. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P26039, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Y490}.
