PROTEIN
PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • one FH2 domain, promoting filament nucleation and influencing elongation through interaction with the barbed end, but is a poor nucleator , and possesses properties not shared by FMNL1 that allow it to generate filopodia
  • one GBD/FH3 domain
  • C-terminal non-FH2 AAs of FMNL3 are potentially required to stabilize the filament nucleus , and contains a WH2-like sequence that binds filament barbed ends and monomers, whose mutation disrupts monomer binding and inhibition of filament elongation
    • secondary structure
  • two adjacent aliphatic AAs within the predicted alpha-helix but does not have a leucine as the third aliphatic residue, although an alanine might functionally substitute to some degree
    • conjugated PhosphoP
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Fmnl3 (96.7pc)

    basic FUNCTION
  • may be implicated in polarity control, invasion, migration, or metastasis through regulation of the Rho-related signaling pathway
  • actin assembly factor that accelerate filament nucleation then remain on the elongating barbed end and modulate filament elongation
  • influences actin dynamics and promotes filopodia formation
  • crucial regulator of endothelial cell elongation during angiogenesis
  • is required for microtubule alignment during angiogenic morphogenesis
  • is a new regulator of endothelial microtubules during angiogenesis and is required for the conversion of quiescent ECs into their elongated angiogenic forms
  • FMNL2 and FMNL3, are members of the formin family of proteins, were associated mainly with the plasma membrane and induced significant cellular morphological changes
  • protein N-myristoylation plays critical roles in the cellular morphological changes induced by FMNL2 and FMNL3
  • actin-assembly factor that act in a variety of actin-based processes
