PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N-terminal actin-binding domain,
  • two CH (calponin-homology) domains
  • 17 spectrin repeats
  • a PH (pleckstrin homology) domain
  • C-terminal domain crucial for KCNQ2 aggregation and excitability at nodes of Ranvier , containing a conserved motif harboring high homology to the autoregulatory domain of CAMK2A, a site necessary for CAMK2A intramolecular interaction
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to rattus Spnb4 (94.9 pc)
    homolog to murine Spnb4 (95.8 pc)

  • PML body
  • nuclear matrix
  • cytoskeletal anchoring at plasma membrane
  • basic FUNCTION
  • being a structural constituent of cytoskeleton
  • involved in the barbed-end actin filament capping
  • regulates sodium channel clustering through ankyrin-G at axon initial segments and nodes of Ranvier
  • broader role for SPTB4 in regulation of cell membrane excitability in the pancreatic islet
  • role of SPTBN4 in the expression, targeting, and regulation of critical membrane and signaling proteins in islets
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

    a component essential component of the membrane skeleton
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binding to actin
  • binding to ankyrin
  • is recruited to axon initial segments and nodes of Ranvier by ANK3
  • directly associates with ankyrin-B and CAMK2A
  • directly associates with and targets CAMK2A in pancreatic islets
  • SPTBN4–targeted CAMK2A directly phosphorylates the inwardly-rectifying potassium channel, KCNJ11
  • SPTBN4/CAMK2D interaction in pancreatic islets via a C-terminal domain in SPTBN4
  • is required for CAMK2D, ANK2, KCNJ11, and ABCC8 expression in beta cells
