UniProt functional annotation for P68135

UniProt codes: P68135, P02568.

Organism: Oryctolagus cuniculus (Rabbit).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Lagomorpha; Leporidae; Oryctolagus.
 
Function: Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.
 
Subunit: Polymerization of globular actin (G-actin) leads to a structural filament (F-actin) in the form of a two-stranded helix. Each actin can bind to 4 others. Interacts with alpha-actinin (PubMed:8449927). Identified in a complex composed of ACTA1, COBL, GSN AND TMSB4X (PubMed:23009842). Interacts with TTID (By similarity). Interacts (via its C-terminus) with USP25 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68133, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15099571, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23009842, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8449927}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton.
Ptm: Oxidation of Met-46 and Met-49 by MICALs (MICAL1, MICAL2 or MICAL3) to form methionine sulfoxide promotes actin filament depolymerization. MICAL1 and MICAL2 produce the (R)-S-oxide form. The (R)-S-oxide form is reverted by MSRB1 and MSRB2, which promotes actin repolymerization. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68134}.
Ptm: Can be mono-ADP-ribosylated on Arg-179 by SpvB of Salmonella spp. This modification blocks subsequent polymerization and leads to cell death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16905096}.
Ptm: Monomethylation at Lys-86 (K84me1) regulates actin-myosin interaction and actomyosin-dependent processes. Demethylation by ALKBH4 is required for maintaining actomyosin dynamics supporting normal cleavage furrow ingression during cytokinesis and cell migration. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68133}.
Ptm: Methylated at His-75 by SETD3. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P68133}.
Miscellaneous: In vertebrates 3 main groups of actin isoforms, alpha, beta and gamma have been identified. The alpha actins are found in muscle tissues and are a major constituent of the contractile apparatus. The beta and gamma actins coexist in most cell types as components of the cytoskeleton and as mediators of internal cell motility.
Similarity: Belongs to the actin family. {ECO:0000305}.
