General annotation (Comments)

Function

Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell-surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion By similarity. Ref.1

Subunit structure

Exhibits self-association properties. Interacts with NRAP, SORBS1 and TLN1. Interacts with SYNM. Interacts with CTNNB1 and this interaction is necessary for its localization to the cell-cell junctions and for its function in regulating cell surface expression of E-cadherin By similarity. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton By similarity. Cell junctionadherens junction By similarity. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side By similarity. Cell junction By similarity. Note: Cytoplasmic face of adhesion plaques. Recruitment to cell-cell junctions occurs in a myosin II-dependent manner. Interaction with CTNNB1 is necessary for its localization to the cell-cell junctions By similarity.

Domain

Exists in at least two conformations. When in the closed, 'inactive' conformation, extensive interactions between the head and tail domains prevent detectable binding to most of its ligands. It takes on an 'active' conformation after cooperative and simultaneous binding of two different ligands. This activation involves displacement of the head-tail interactions and leads to a significant accumulation of ternary complexes. The active form then binds a number of proteins that have both signaling and structural roles that are essential for cell adhesion By similarity.

The N-terminal globular head (Vh) comprises of subdomains D1-D4. The C-terminal tail (Vt) binds F-actin and cross-links actin filaments into bundles. An intramolecular interaction between Vh and Vt masks the F-actin-binding domain located in Vt. The binding of talin and alpha-actinin to the D1 subdomain of vinculin induces a helical bundle conversion of this subdomain, leading to the disruption of the intramolecular interaction and the exposure of the cryptic F-actin-binding domain of Vt. Vt inhibits actin filament barbed end elongation without affecting the critical concentration of actin assembly By similarity.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated; on serines, threonines and tyrosines. Phosphorylation on Tyr-1065 in activated platelets affects head-tail interactions and cell spreading but has no effect on actin binding nor on localization to focal adhesion plaques By similarity. Ref.7 Ref.8 Ref.9 Ref.10 Ref.11

Acetylated; mainly by myristic acid but also by a small amount of palmitic acid By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the vinculin/alpha-catenin family.
