General annotation (Comments)

Function

Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells.

Subunit structure

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. Component of the BAF complex, which includes at least actin (ACTB), ARID1A, ARID1B/BAF250, SMARCA2, SMARCA4/BRG1, ACTL6A/BAF53, ACTL6B/BAF53B, SMARCE1/BAF57 SMARCC1/BAF155, SMARCC2/BAF170, SMARCB1/SNF5/INI1, and one or more of SMARCD1/BAF60A, SMARCD2/BAF60B, or SMARCD3/BAF60C. In muscle cells, the BAF complex also contains DPF3. Found in a complex with XPO6, Ran, ACTB and PFN1. Component of a complex composed at least of ACTB, AP2M1, AP2A1, AP2A2, MEGF10 and VIM. Interacts with XPO6.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton.

Involvement in disease

Defects in ACTB are a cause of juvenile-onset dystonia [MIM:607371]. Dystonia is a movement disorder with a neurological basis, due to disordered tonicity of muscle. It is characterized by sustained involuntary muscle contractions that cause abnormal postures and repetitive movements. It may affect muscles throughout the body (generalized), in certain parts of the body (segmental), or may be confined to particular muscles or muscle groups (focal). Individuals with juvenile-onset dystonia due to ACTB mutations present a complicated phenotype that includes progressive generalized dopa-unresponsive dystonia, developmental malformations and sensory hearing loss.

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.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the actin family.
