WAVE3 Functions as a Negative Regulator of LDOC1 (2005)

Mizutani, Kiyohito, Koike, Daisuke, Suetsugu, Shiro, Takenawa, Tadaomi

WAVE3 belongs to the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family that mediates actin reorganization through activation of the Arp2/3 complex. However, the physiological function of WAVE3 is poorly...

Two tandem verprolin homology domains are necessary for a strong activation of Arp2/3 complex-induced actin polymerization and induction of microspike formation by N-WASP

Yamaguchi, Hideki, Miki, Hiroaki, Suetsugu, Shiro, Ma, Le, Kirschner, Marc W., Takenawa, Tadaomi

All WASP family proteins share a common C terminus that consists of the verprolin homology domain (V), cofilin homology domain (C), and acidic region (A), through which they activate Arp2/3...

Regulation of actin cytoskeleton by mDab1 through N-WASP and ubiquitination of mDab1

Suetsugu, Shiro, Tezuka, Tohru, Morimura, Toshifumi, Hattori, Mitsuharu, Mikoshiba, Katsuhiko, Yamamoto, Tadashi, ...

Migration of cells is critical to development of the central nervous system. Reelin, which was identified from the reeler mutant mice having a defect in the multilamellar structure of the brain, is...

Interaction of HSP90 to N-WASP leads to activation and protection from proteasome-dependent degradation

Park, Sun Joo, Suetsugu, Shiro, Takenawa, Tadaomi

Neural Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) regulates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton through activation of the Arp2/3 complex. Here, we show that heat shock protein 90 (HSP90)...

Coordination between the actin cytoskeleton and membrane deformation by a novel membrane tubulation domain of PCH proteins is involved in endocytosis

Tsujita, Kazuya, Suetsugu, Shiro, Sasaki, Nobunari, Furutani, Masahiro, Oikawa, Tsukasa, Takenawa, Tadaomi

The conserved FER-CIP4 homology (FCH) domain is found in the pombe Cdc15 homology (PCH) protein family members, including formin-binding protein 17 (FBP17). However, the amino acid sequence homology...

Optimization of WAVE2 complex–induced actin polymerization by membrane-bound IRSp53, PIP3, and Rac

Suetsugu, Shiro, Kurisu, Shusaku, Oikawa, Tsukasa, Yamazaki, Daisuke, Oda, Atsushi, Takenawa, Tadaomi

WAVE2 activates the actin-related protein (Arp) 2/3 complex for Rac-induced actin polymerization during lamellipodium formation and exists as a large WAVE2 protein complex with Sra1/PIR121, Nap1,...

Synaptopodin Protects Against Proteinuria by Disrupting Cdc42:IRSp53:Mena Signaling Complexes in Kidney Podocytes

Yanagida-Asanuma, Etsuko, Asanuma, Katsuhiko, Kim, Kwanghee, Donnelly, Mary, Young Choi, Hoon, Hyung Chang, Jae, ...

The actin-based foot processes of kidney podocytes and the interposed slit diaphragm form the final barrier to proteinuria. Mutations affecting several podocyte proteins cause disruption of the...
