Protein Domain : IPR028297

Type:  Family Name:  Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein homologue, fungal
Description:  This entry represent the fungal homologue of the WASP (Wiscott-Aldrich syndrome) protein, including Wsp1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Las17 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Similar to mammalian WASP proteins, Wsp1 and Las17 also has a role in regulating actin assembly [, ]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Las17 is the primary activator of Arp2/3-driven actin nucleation and is required for membrane invagination during endocytosis []. Las17 can also nucleate actin filaments independently of Arp2/3 through its polyproline domain []. Short Name:  Wsp1/Las17_fungal
