description | Anillin (Rhotekin/RTKN; also called PLEKHK/Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family K) is an actin binding protein involved in cytokinesis. It interacts with GTP-bound Rho proteins and results in the inhibition of their GTPase activity. Dysregulation of the Rho signal transduction pathway has been implicated in many forms of cancer. Anillin proteins have a N-terminal HRI domain/ACC (anti-parallel coiled-coil) finger domain or Rho-binding domain binds small GTPases from the Rho family. The C-terminal PH domain helps target anillin to ectopic septin containing foci [, ].This entry represents the PH domain. |
