UniProt functional annotation for P23528

UniProt code: P23528.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Binds to F-actin and exhibits pH-sensitive F-actin depolymerizing activity (PubMed:11812157). In conjunction with the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC), plays an essential role for zygotes to progress beyond the first embryonic cell divisions via regulation of actin dynamics (PubMed:15580268). Required for the centralization of the mitotic spindle and symmetric division of zygotes (By similarity). Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization in epithelial cells (PubMed:21834987). Required for the up-regulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 from endosomal compartment to cell membrane, increasing its efficiency in chemokine uptake and degradation (PubMed:23633677). Required for neural tube morphogenesis and neural crest cell migration (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P18760, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11812157, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21834987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23633677}.
 
Subunit: Can bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin (PubMed:11812157). It is a major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods (By similarity). Interacts with the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC) via interaction with TLE6 isoform 1 and NLRP5 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P10668, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P18760, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11812157}.
Subunit: (Microbial infection) Interacts with human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) matrix protein; this interaction probably facilitates viral replication. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25556234}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cell projection, ruffle membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cell projection, lamellipodium {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P18760}. Note=Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Detected at the cleavage furrow and contractile ring during cytokinesis. Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.
Tissue specificity: Widely distributed in various tissues.
Induction: Up-regulated in response to enterovirus 71 (EV71) infection (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16548883}.
Ptm: Inactivated by phosphorylation on Ser-3. Phosphorylated on Ser-3 in resting cells (By similarity). Dephosphorylated by PDXP/chronophin; this restores its activity in promoting actin filament depolymerization. The phosphorylation of Ser-24 may prevent recognition of the nuclear localization signal (By similarity). Phosphorylated via a ARRB1-RAC1-LIMK1-PAK1 cascade upon active ligand stimulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P45695, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12837278, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23633677}.
Similarity: Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family. {ECO:0000305}.
