Primary Identifier | IPR028290 | Type | Family |
Short Name | WASH1 |
description | This entry represents members of the WASH1 family, which are components of the WASH complex that is present at the surface of endosomes and activates the Arp2/3-mediated F-actin polymerisation []. WASH1 contains N-terminal WASH homology regions (also known as the WAHD domain, which covers the WHD1/EVH1 and WHD2 domains), a proline-rich region and a C-terminal WH2 domain []. WASH1 localises to early endosomal subdomains through an essential interaction with FAM21 via its WHD1 domain and directly binds tubulin through its WHD2 domain, while linking to Arp2/3-mediated F-actin polymerisation via its C-terminal WH2 domain []. |
