Abstract

This entry represents an actin-crosslinking domain with a beta-trefoil structure, consisting of a triplet of beta-hairpins packed against a six-stranded antiparallel beta-barrel. Proteins containing this domain include fascin, which carries a tandem repeat of four copies of this domain, and the histidine-rich actin-binding protein hisactophilin. Actin-crosslinking proteins organise actin filaments into dynamic and complex subcellular scaffolds that orchestrate important mechanical functions, including cell motility and adhesion [PubMed15992772].

The fascins are a structurally unique and evolutionarily conserved group of actin cross-linking proteins. Fascins function in the organisation of two major forms of actin-based structures: dynamic, cortical cell protrusions and cytoplasmic microfilament bundles [PubMed12507891].

A related protein, hisactophilin, is an essential protein for the osmoprotection of dictyostelium cells [PubMed11847289, PubMed11996675].

Browse genome assignments for this superfamily. The SUPERFAMILY hidden Markov model library has been used to carry out SCOP domain assignments to all genomes at the superfamily level.


Alignments of sequences to 5 models in this superfamily are available by clicking on the 'Alignments' icon above. PDB sequences less than 40% identical are shown by default, but any other sequence(s) may be aligned. Select PDB sequences, genome sequences, or paste in or upload your own sequences.


Browse and view proteins in genomes which have different domain combinations including a Actin-crosslinking proteins domain.


Examine the distribution of domain superfamilies, or families, across the major taxonomic kingdoms or genomes within a kingdom. This gives an immediate impression of how superfamilies, or families, are restricted to certain kingdoms of life.


Explore domain occurrence network where nodes represent genomes and edges are domain architectures (shared between genomes) containing the superfamily of interest.

There are 5 hidden Markov models representing the Actin-crosslinking proteins superfamily. Information on how the models are built, and plots showing hydrophobicity, match emmission probabilities and insertion/deletion probabilities can be inspected.
