Actin assembly factor; C-terminal WCA domain activates Arp2/3 complex-mediated nucleation of branched actin filaments and a polyproline domain which can nucleate actin filaments independent of Arp2/3; mutants are defective in actin cytoskeleton dependent processes such as: endocytosis, bud site selection and cytokinesis; localizes with the Arp2/3 complex to actin cortical patches; homolog of the Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome protein (WASP), implicated in severe immunodeficiency

Dosage Rescue

A genetic interaction is inferred when over expression or increased dosage of one gene rescues the lethality or growth defect of a strain that is mutated or deleted for another gene.

The RGD1 gene from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which encodes a GTPase-activating protein for the Rho3 and Rho4 small G proteins, exhibits synthetic lethality with the VRP1 and LAS17 genes. Their products are proline-rich proteins that interact with both actin and myosins to ensure polarized growth. By testing functional links, we found that the VRP1 and LAS17 genes are potent suppressors of ... [more]
