== Disease ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ACTB_HUMAN ACTB_HUMAN] Defects in ACTB are a cause of dystonia juvenile-onset (DYTJ) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/607371 607371]. DYTJ is a form of dystonia with juvenile onset. Dystonia is defined by the presence of sustained involuntary muscle contraction, often leading to abnormal postures. DYTJ patients manifest progressive, generalized, dopa-unresponsive dystonia, developmental malformations and sensory hearing loss.<ref>PMID:16685646</ref>   Defects in ACTB are the cause of Baraitser-Winter syndrome type 1 (BRWS1) [MIM:[https://omim.org/entry/243310 243310]. A rare developmental disorder characterized by the combination of congenital ptosis, high-arched eyebrows, hypertelorism, ocular colobomata, and a brain malformation consisting of anterior-predominant lissencephaly. Other typical features include postnatal short stature and microcephaly, intellectual disability, seizures, and hearing loss.<ref>PMID:22366783</ref> 
== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/ACTB_HUMAN ACTB_HUMAN] Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Actin isoforms organize into distinct networks that are essential for the normal function of eukaryotic cells. Despite a high level of sequence and structure conservation, subtle differences in their design principles determine the interaction with myosin motors and actin-binding proteins. Therefore, identifying how the structure of actin isoforms relates to function is important for our understanding of normal cytoskeletal physiology. Here, we report the high-resolution structures of filamentous skeletal muscle alpha-actin (3.37 A), cardiac muscle alpha-actin (3.07 A), ss-actin (2.99 A), and gamma-actin (3.38 A) in the Mg(2+).ADP state with their native post-translational modifications. The structures revealed isoform-specific conformations of the N-terminus that shift closer to the filament surface upon myosin binding, thereby establishing isoform-specific interfaces. Collectively, the structures of single-isotype, post-translationally modified bare skeletal muscle alpha-actin, cardiac muscle alpha-actin, ss-actin, and gamma-actin reveal general principles, similarities, and differences between isoforms. They complement the repertoire of known actin structures and allow for a comprehensive understanding of in vitro and in vivo functions of actin isoforms.
