PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • conserved N-terminal actin and myosin binding domains and
  • a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at the C terminus, conserved C-terminal domain that is essential for its function and localization
  • HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to Anilin

    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in cytokinesis
  • septin assembly and septum formation
  • may be playing a significant role in pulmonary carcinogenesis
  • having nonproliferation-associated activities and roles in interphase nuclei
  • substrate of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a ubiquitin ligase that controls mitotic progression
  • is required to maintain active myosin in the equatorial plane during cytokinesis, suggesting it functions as a scaffold protein to link RHOA with the ring components actin and myosin
  • functioning to maintain the localization of active myosin, thereby ensuring the spatial control of concerted contraction during cytokinesis
  • an ANLN-ECT2 complex stabilizes central spindle microtubules at the cortex during cytokinesis
  • F-actin binding cell cycle gene
  • is important in maintaining the integrity of the podocyte actin cytoskeleton

    small molecule
    protein
  • actin
  • actin-binding protein that can bind septins
  • interaction between DIAPH2 and ANLN is required for the localization and function of DIAPH2 in cytokinesis
  • CIT is capable of physically and functionally interacting with the actin-binding protein ANLN
