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.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton.

Post-translational modification

The methylhistidine determined by Bienvenut et al is assumed to be the tele-methylhistidine isomer by similarity to the mouse ortholog.

Oxidation of Met-44 by MICALs (MICAL1, MICAL2 or MICAL3) to form methionine sulfoxide promotes actin filament depolymerization. Methionine sulfoxide is produced stereospecifically, but it is not known whether the (S)-S-oxide or the (R)-S-oxide is produced By similarity.

Involvement in disease

Deafness, autosomal dominant, 20 (DFNA20) [MIM:604717]: A form of non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.11 Ref.12 Ref.13 Ref.14 Ref.15

Baraitser-Winter syndrome 2 (BRWS2) [MIM:614583]: 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.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.16

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.
