Abstract excerpt
The mammalian verprolin family consists of three family members: WIP, WIRE and CR16. WIRE was recently found to bind to WASP and N-WASP and to have roles in regulating actin dynamics downstream of the platelet-derived growth factor beta-receptor. In the current study, the WASP-binding domain of WIRE was identified, with the core of the binding motif encompassing amino acid residues 408-412. A stretch of aromatic...
