description | Protein diaphanous homologue 3 (DIAPH3) belongs to the formin homology family, Diaphanous subfamily (also known as the Diaphanous-related formins, Drfs). In addition to the FH1 and FH2 domains, Drfs contain an N-terminal GTPase-binding domain (mDiaN) and a C-terminal Diaphanous-autoregulatory domain (DAD).DIAPH3 (also known as mDia2, which can be confusing) acts in a Rho-dependent manner to recruit profilin to the membrane, where it promotes actin polymerisation. It is required for cytokinesis, stress fibre formation, and transcriptional activation of the serum response factor []. It couples Rho and Src tyrosine kinase during signaling and the regulation of actin dynamics []. |
