    basic FUNCTION
  • participating in the transduction of signals from Ras to Rac by regulating Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activities
  • playing an essentiel role in modulating WASF2 effector functions
  • implicated in growth-factor-mediated regulation of the small GTPases p21Ras and Rac
  • promotes ABL-mediated PIK3AP1 phosphorylation, suggesting that ABI11 in general coordinates kinase-substrate interactions
  • adaptor protein involved in actin reorganization and lamellipodia formation
  • plays an important role in the spread of breast cancer and that this role may be mediated via the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathway
  • plays critical roles both in the pathogenesis of BCR-Abl-induced leukemia and in the spread of several solid tumors
  • key regulator of actin polymerization/depolymerization
  • role in the regulation of morphogenesis
  • promotes the ABL-mediated phosphorylation of ENAH by binding both ABL and ENAH
  • plays a critical function in actin cytoskeleton dynamics through participation in the WASF2 complex
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    text negative control of cell proliferation
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling signal transduction
    transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway
    a component
  • complexing with EPS8 and putatively mediating the transfer of signals from Ras to Racs
  • complex ABL/ABI1/WASF2 as critical pathway for coupling stimulatory signals to actin cytoskeletal remodeling
  • ABI1 and the neural WASL, forms a complex with KCNN3- channels in neural stem cells, involved in early neurogenesis
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to the SH3 domains of EPS8 and of spectrin (SPTA1)
  • MLLT1
  • interacting with WASF2 for promoting WASF2 membrane translocation
  • PIK3AP1 is an ABI1-interacting protein (SH3 domain of ABI1 and the C-terminal polyproline structure of PIK3AP1 are involved in interactions between the two)
  • interaction with DBNDD1 (possible functions of DBNDD1 at the postsynapse in the regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis through the interaction with WASF2 and ABI1)
  • target of ITGA4 that positively regulates membrane protrusion by promoting actin polymerization at sites of integrin engagement
  • RAPH1 directly binds active RAC1, which regulates a direct interaction between RAPH1 and the WASF1 complex via ABI1
  • cell & other
