UniProt functional annotation for P15891

UniProt code: P15891.

Organism: Saccharomyces cerevisiae (strain ATCC 204508 / S288c) (Baker's yeast).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Fungi; Dikarya; Ascomycota; Saccharomycotina; Saccharomycetes; Saccharomycetales; Saccharomycetaceae; Saccharomyces.
 
Function: Regulates ARP2/3 complex-mediated actin assembly. Recruits ARP2/3 complex to sides of preexisting actin filaments, which may promote nucleation or stabilization of filament branches. Binds to actin filaments, but not actin monomers. Actin binding is required for ARP2/3 complex activation. May also have a role in linking the actin cytoskeleton to endocytosis. recruits components of the endocytotic machinery to cortical actin patches, known sites of endocytosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331312}.
 
Subunit: Binds F-actin, but not G-actin. Interacts with the ARP2/3 complex. Interacts with APP1, ARK1, PRK1, SCP1, SRV2 and YIR003W via its SH3 domain. Interacts with the SH3 domain of RVS167 and with SLA1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10388809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11668184, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11950888, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14737190, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8552082}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, actin patch {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11950888, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562095, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15872087}. Note=Cortical actin patches.
Ptm: The actin depolymerizing factor homology (ADF) domain mediates actin filament binding.
Miscellaneous: Present with 606 molecules/cell in log phase SD medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14562106}.
Similarity: Belongs to the ABP1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
