Method: Solution NMR Resources: FirstGlance, OCA, PDBe, RCSB, PDBsum, ProSAT Function WASL_RAT Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. Involved in various processes, such as mitosis and cytokinesis, via its role in the regulation of actin polymerization. Together with CDC42, involved in the extension and maintenance of the formation of thin, actin-rich surface projections called filopodia. In addition to its role in the cytoplasm, also plays a role in the nucleus by regulating gene transcription, probably by promoting nuclear actin polymerization (By similarity). Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression. Plays a role in dendrite spine morphogenesis (By similarity).[UniProtKB:O00401][UniProtKB:Q91YD9] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.

Publication Abstract from PubMed Missense mutants that cause the immune disorder Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) map primarily to the Enabled/VASP homology 1 (EVH1) domain of the actin regulatory protein WASP. This domain has been implicated in both peptide and phospholipid binding. We show here that the N-WASP EVH1 domain does not bind phosphatidyl inositol-(4,5)-bisphosphate, as previously reported, but does specifically bind a 25 residue motif from the WASP Interacting Protein (WIP). The NMR structure of the complex reveals a novel recognition mechanism-the WIP ligand, which is far longer than canonical EVH1 ligands, wraps around the domain, contacting a narrow but extended surface. This recognition mechanism provides a basis for understanding the effects of mutations that cause WAS.
